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,

and then close the tool. See Figure 6.

Locator Replacement

See the parts list on the last page of this document for the proper locator order number. Follow the

steps below to replace the locator:

1. Open the crimp hand tool.

2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown

in Figure 7A with your thumb and index

finger. The lower tabs of the locator

should disengage from the hand tool.

3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool.

The top locator hooks should slip out of

the top slots easily. See Figure 7A.

4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure

the hand tool is in the open position.

5. Press the center of the locator down as

far as it will go as shown in Figure 7B.

6. Holding onto the lower part of the

locator with your thumb and index

finger, insert the locator’s top hooks into

the hand tool’s top slots.

7. Rotate the locator down, and press the

lower tabs into the two bottom slots of

the hand tool. To secure the locator into

place, the lower tabs must snap into

place on the hand tool frame.

Right- or Left-Handed Operation

This hand tool has an added feature that can be

converted from a right-handed application to a

left-handed application. It is necessary to reverse

the tooling if using the left-handed application

along with the locator. Follow the steps below:

1. The locator must be removed before

reversing the tooling.

2. Remove the M3 BHCS, which is holding the

upper tooling.
