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 document as reference only. Because of the wide range of wires, strands, insulation diameters and durometers available, actual crimp height measurements may very 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. HANDLE WILL SPRING OPEN SQUEEZE HANDLES TOGETHER OPERATION LOCATOR IN DOWN POSTION Figure 2 PUSH ON THE LOCATOR BUTTON CAUTION: Crimp only the Molex terminals Figure 1 listed in the scope for this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects because damage can occur to the tool frame or crimp dies. 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. Crimping Terminals 1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts. 2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the 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 markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3.

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. 6. Insert the properly stripped wire above the terminal and against the locator. 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 the proper crimp location. 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: SQUEEZE HERE MAKE SURE CENTER OF LOCATOR IS IN THE DOWN POSITION SQUEEZE HERE 1. Open the crimp hand tool. Figure 6A 2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in Figure TOP SLOTS OF 6A with your thumb and index finger. The lower HAND TOOL tabs of the locator should disengage from the hand TOP HOOKS tool. 3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The top locator hooks should slip out of the top slots easily. See Figure 6A. 4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the hand Figure 6B tool is in the open position. 5. Press the red insert down as far as it will go as shown in Figure 6B. LOWER TABS 6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator with your thumb and index finger, insert the locator’s top hooks (2) 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.

It is necessary to reverse the tooling if using the left handed application along with the locator. Follow the steps below: PULL OPEN TOOLING TOOLING M3 BHCS 1. The locator must be removed before reversing the tooling. 2. 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 Figures 7 and 8. 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. Figure 7 PUSH ON HANDLE MATCH UP MARKS Maintenance It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of and responsible for the following maintenance steps: FRONT 1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush or a soft, lint-free cloth. 2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool. 3. Make certain all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high-quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability, but like any other equipment, it needs cleaning and 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 crimps or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life. 4. Wipe excess oil from the 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.

The tool will open easily by pressing up on the ratchet release lever in the movable handle. See Figure 10. How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 11) 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 10. 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.

Manually powered hand tools are intended for low-volume use or field repair. This tool is NOT intended for production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided. 2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock. 3. Wear eye protection at all times. 4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool. Certification Molex does not certify or re-certify hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for customers to re-certify hand tools: % This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire that has been stripped 12.7mm (.50”) long so that there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than 25mm (1.00”) per minute. See the Molex website for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull testing. % If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased, and the pull test should be rerun (see How to Adjust Preload). % When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and replaced.
