This produces an overlap insulation crimp (A620 – compliant). While the insulation punch profile may appear “lopsided”, this is a normal condition for this tool. See figure to the right. (Some tools with multiple crimp pockets may not have the “overlap” profile on all pockets). MAKE SURE CENTER OF LOCATOR CONDITIONS: WIRE ANVIL After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following.

Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp. 2. The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp Note: A crimp height chart is provided with this manual as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands, insulation diameters, and durometers available, actual crimp height measurements may vary slightly. An occasional, destructive, pull force test should be performed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value Must exceed the Minimum pull force specifications listed. OPERATION LOCATOR IN DOWN POSTION HANDLE WILL SPRING OPEN Figure 2 PUSH ON THE LOCATOR BUTTON SQUEEZE HANDLES TOGETHER Figure 1 CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool or die. Open the tool by squeezing the handles together. At the end of the closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will release the handles and the hand tool will spring open. See Figure 1.

Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts. PARTIALLY 2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the CLOSE HANDLE locator attached, push the locator button on the back of the hand tool to bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2. 3. While holding the locator button in, load the terminal into the proper nest opening in the locator based on the wire gauge or terminal type OPEN markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3. POSITION 4. Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the crimping position. 5. Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position engages. See Figure 4. FIRST RATCHET POSITION 6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the Figure 4 wire stop. See Figure 5. 7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed. Release the handles to open the jaws.

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 then close the tool. See Figure 6. WIRE STOP Figure 6 TERMINAL Locator Replacement LOCATOR 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 red insert 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 locators top hooks (2) into the hand tool 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.

Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper tooling. 3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M3 BHCS. Make sure the small markings on the front and back of the hand tool frame match up and are on the outside of the hand tool frame. See Figure 8 and 9. 4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and tighten the M3 screws. Be sure the small markings line up. 5. Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in the locator replacement section. MATCH UP MARKS Figure 9 BACK FRONT Maintenance It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps: 1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth. 2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool. LUBRICATION POINTS 3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a (BOTH SIDES) LIGHT OIL thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was (EVERY 3 MONTHS OR engineered for durability but like any other equipment it needs cleaning and 5,000 CRIMPS) lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000 Figure 10 crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life. 4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application. 5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area. Miscrimps or Jams Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do Not force the handles open or closed. The tool will open easily by pressing up on the ratchet release lever in the movable handle. See Figure 11. RATCHET RELEASE LEVER How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 12) This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45 LBS. 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: Figure 11 1. Hold the hand tool in the palm of your hand as shown in Figure 12. Using the index finger squeeze the link towards the top of the hand tool frame. This will release the preload adjustment wheel.

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.
