Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp. 2. The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp. ▲Note: The crimp height chart is provided with this document as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands, insulation diameters, and insulation hardness available, actual crimp height measurements may vary slightly. An occasional, destructive, pull force test should be performed to verify the conductor crimp. Pull Force value must exceed the Minimum pull force specifications LOCATOR listed. IN DOWN HANDLE WILL SPRING OPEN OPERATION POSTION CAUTION: Crimp only the Molex terminals listed in the scope for this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool frame and/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.

Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts. 2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the PARTIALLY 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 6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the POSITION 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.

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. JAWS OPEN TOOLING PULL OPEN TOOLING M3 BHCS Locator Replacement 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. Figure 8 1. Open the crimp hand tool. 2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in Figure PUSH ON 7A with your thumb and index finger. The lower HANDLE 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. Right or Left Hand Operation This hand tool has an added feature that can be converted from a right handed application to a left handed application. It is necessary to reverse the tooling if using the left handed application along with the locator. Follow the steps below: MATCH 1. The locator must be removed before reversing the UP MARKS tooling. 2. Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper tooling. Figure 9 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 BACK FRONT 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.

Remove dust, moisture, and other LEVER contaminants with a clean brush, or 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 LUBRICATION POINTS Figure 11 excessively. The tool was (BOTH SIDES) LIGHT OIL (EVERY 3 MONTHS OR engineered for durability but like 5,000 CRIMPS) any other equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble Figure 10 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 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.

It may be necessary over WHEEL 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 the index finger squeeze the link towards the top of the hand tool frame. This will release the preload adjustment wheel. 2. Rotate the setting wheel counter-clockwise (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.

CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling. CAUTIONS: 1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume 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. See the Molex web site 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 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.
