This tool features two fixed dies (crimpers), two
movable dies (anvils), an insulation adjustment pin, a
locator/wire stop, and a CERTICRIMP hand
crimping tool ratchet control.
The insulation adjustment pin is used to regulate the
4</29
crimp height of the terminal insulation barrel. Refer to
Section 4, INSULATION CRIMP ADJUSTMENT.
The locator/wire stop has two functions. First, it
positions the terminal between the crimping dies, and
49;2:/54
second, it aids in locating the wire in the terminal (see
*0;9:3+4:
Figure 3).

The CERTICRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control
ensures full crimping of the terminal. Once engaged,
the ratchet will not release until the handles have
been fully closed.

Make sure all pivot points and bearing surfaces are
protected with a thin coat of any good SAE 20 motor

Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the tool and/or be supplied to the
supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Though recommendations call for at least one
inspection a month, the inspection frequency should
be based on the amount of use, ambient working
conditions, operator training and skill, and established
company standards. These inspections should be
performed in the following sequence:
