6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the wire
stop. See Figure 5.
7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet
mechanism cycle has been completed. Release the handles to open the
jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
8. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal
locator by pulling on the wire.
9. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper
crimp location.
10. On some large O.D. wires, it may not be possible
to insert the wire with the tool partially closed.
Those wires should be inserted with the hand tool
in the open position. Insert the wire above the
terminal in the punch and against the wire stop
then close the tool. See Figure 6.
