Tape may also be placed over circuit traces or on the bottom of the Guide Plate for added protection of the printed circuit board. 1. Turn the T Handle counter-clockwise (CCW) until the lifting jaws are exposed below the guide plates. (The screw will become disengaged from the lifting jaw block.) 2. Slide the lifting jaws down over the connector until the lifting jaws snap into the slots at the base of the connector. See Figure 3. Note: The lifting jaws must snap into the slots of the connector so it can be lifted off the printed circuit board. 3. Lower the tool until the bottom of the guide plates contact the board surface. 4. Turn the T handle clockwise (CW) until the connector is removed from the PCB. See Figure 4.

This is not a tooling malfunction. A pair of needle nose pliers may be used to individually remove the terminals. Caution is required when using this method; if a terminal is incorrectly gripped or pulled away at an angle, it could break off inside the PCB hole. After terminals are pulled out of the PCB, they should be discarded. The PCB should be free of any contact debris. 5. With the removal tool away from the PCB, take the connector out of the tool by turning the T handle counterclockwise until the lifting jaws are exposed. Pull the connector up slightly and slide it out of the side of the tool.
