OPERATION
1. Open the hand tool.
2. Slide the connector into the track and push until it stops against
the stop screw. (Check connector orientation). See Figure 2.

it stops. For Feed-Thru Harnesses push through to pre-set mark
on the cable. See Figure 3
4. With the connector seated in track correctly, squeeze the tool
handles together until the full cycle ratchet releases. If the
handles become jammed, see Missed Terminations or Jams

ADJUSTMENTS
Connector Stop Screw
The stop screw is used to align the connector’s terminals to the teeth on the insertion blade. This should not
require adjustment.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock nut on the stop screw and turn the screw as needed to align the
terminals to the insertion blade teeth. Remember to tighten the locknut after adjustment.
