408- 10414 rev c 2 of 5 proper use guidelines cumulative trauma disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. hand tools are intended for occasional use and low volum e applications. a wide selection of powered application equipment for extended--use, production operations is available. figure 1 wire crimper wire anvil insulation stop stripped wire front of tool insulation crimper insulation anvil - note: some tools do not have insul ation adjustment knobs. these tools are fixed at one position with a spring pin. contact retaining plate contact wire barrel - insulation adjustment knob (shown in position 4) 2. description the front of the tool is marked with the tool part number, wire size ranges, and crimp height specification. the tool features a fixed die (crimper), a movable die (anvil), an insulation stop, a certi--crimp hand crimping tool ratchet control, and a flip locator. many tools feature an insulation adjustment knob which is used to regulate the crimp height of the contact insulation barrel during the crimping operation. see ?insulation adjustment procedure? in this instruction sheet for details on the use of the adjustment knob. the flip locator is a feature used to precisely locate the contact in the crimp tooling. the insulation stop will limit the insertion distance of the stripped wire into the contact. in use, the insulation stop rests in the slot of the contact. (see figures 1 and 3.) the certi--crimp hand crimping tool ratchet control ensures full crimping of the contact. once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the dies have been fully closed. 3. crimping procedure refer to the table at http://tooling.te.com/data.asp to ensure that the wire intended for use is compatible with the wire size and insulation diameter specified in the table. strip the wire to the length indicated in the table. do not cut or nick the wire strands during wire stripping. proceed as follows: 1. hold the tool so that the front side is facing you. 2. ensure that the tool ratchet is released by squeezing the tool handles and allowing them to open fully. 3. be sure the flip locator is in the load position (see figure 2). hold the contact by the wire and insulation barrel, push the contact retaining plate and insert the contact receptacle into the flip locator so that the top of the contact (opening for the wire) faces away from the tool. be sure to insert the contact in the proper nest according to the wire size on the front of the tool. once the contact is loaded, release the contact retaining plate and flip the locator up 90 . figure 2 load contacts here contact retaining plate 4. squeeze the tool handles together until the insulation anvil starts entry into the insulation crimper (usually two ratchet clicks). do not deform the insulation barrel or wire barrel. caution !
