Figures are not drawn to scale. Reasons for re-issue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 8, REVISION SUMMARY. 2. DESCRIPTION Each tool features a head containing two stationary crimping dies (anvils) and two movable crimping dies (indenters), a locator, an insulation crimping adjustment pin, and a CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control. See Figure 1. When closed, the crimping dies form one crimping chamber with two sections: an insulation barrel section and a wire barrel section. The insulation barrel section crimps the terminal onto the wire insulation and, simultaneously, the wire barrel section crimps the terminal wire barrel onto the stripped wire. The locator positions the terminal in the crimping chamber. The insulation crimping adjustment pin is used to regulate the height of the insulation crimp. The CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control ensures full crimping of the terminal. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the tool handles have been FULLY closed. CAUTION The crimping dies bottom before the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control releases. This design feature ensures maximum electrical and tensile performance of the crimp. DO NOT re-adjust the ratchet. 3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE NOTE Refer to Section 5 for information on the insulation crimp adjustment. Refer to Figure 3 for terminal crimping procedures. 1. Strip the wire to the length indicated in Figure 2 being careful not to nick or cut wire strands. CAUTION DO NOT use wire with nicked or missing conductors. NOTE Make sure terminal insulation color code matches tool handle color. 2. Open the tool jaws by closing the handles until the ratchet releases then allow handles to open fully. 3. Place the terminal in the dies so the wire barrel butts against the locator. 4. Close the tool handles until the terminal is held firmly in place. DO NOT deform the terminal. Figure 3 2 of 8 Rev F
