II. OPERATION

A. Operating Procedures

1. Hold the hand tool so that the lever is on the left.

With your index finger, push and hold the terminal

holder in its forward position (see Figure 2).

NOTE

When inserting a terminal into the terminal holder

you will notice a slight drag (interference) on the

terminal. The drag is caused by the spring ball

plunger (see Figure 13 item no. 21) applying

downward pressure on the pin end of the terminal.

This downward pressure helps to orient and hold

the terminal in the terminal holder until crimped

.

2. Insert the pin end of the terminal, with “U” shaped

barrels up, into the terminal holder and against the

pin shoulder. While holding the terminal against

the shoulder, release the terminal holder. This

ensures that the terminal remains in the proper

position while moving over the anvil.

CAUTION

If the terminal and the tooling are not compatible,

damage to the tooling could result. If you wish to use a

terminal with a part number other than the one that

was ordered for the HT-0102 check with your

distributor or FCI Electronics to be sure that the new

terminal number is compatible with your hand tool.

WARNING

To prevent hand injury, keep fingers from between

the upper and lower tooling and from between the

lever and handle when closing hand tool.
