the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an

application.

lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area.

How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 12)

This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45 pounds 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. Hold the hand tool in the palm of your

hand as shown in Figure 12. Using your

index finger, squeeze the link toward

the top of the hand tool frame. This will

release the preload adjustment wheel.

2. Rotate the setting wheel

counterclockwise (CCW) to increase

handle force. The numbers will display

higher. To decrease handle force, rotate

the setting wheel clockwise (CW).

3. Release the link to lock the setting

wheel in place.

4. Check the crimp specifications or

conduct a pull test after tool handle

preload force is adjusted.
