Miscrimps or Jams

closed. The tool will open easily by using a small flat screwdriver pressing up on the ratchet release lever in the
movable handle. The handle should be partially closed.
See Figure 7.
How to Adjust Tool Preload
See Figure 8
This hand tool is factory preset to 210 N (47 LBS) preload. It may be necessary over the life of the tool to adjust
tool handle preload force. Listed below are the steps required to adjust the crimping force of the hand tool to
obtain proper crimp conditions:
1. Open the tool by squeezing the handles together
until the ratchet mechanism release, the hand tool
handles will spring open.
2. Remove the M3 screw and the M3 washer.
3. Lift the setting wheel off the axle. Use a small flat
head screwdriver to turn the eccentric axle
counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase handle
force.
4. To decrease handle force, turn the eccentric axle
clockwise (CW).
5. Line up the setting wheel matching the flat side
with the flat edge of the axle so the wheel notch
will drop onto the roll pin. The numbers will
display higher.
6. Re-install the M3 washer and M3 screw.
7. Re-crimp a new sample and check the crimp
specifications or conduct a pull test after tool
handle preload force is adjusted.
