The tool features a tool frame with a stationary jaw and handle, a moving jaw, a moving handle, and an

adjustable ratchet that ensures full contact crimping. The tool frame holds a die assembly with three crimping

sections.

The die assembly features a wire anvil, an insulation anvil, a wire crimper, and an insulation crimper.

Attached to the outside of the tool frame is a locator assembly, which contains a locator, a spring retainer, and

a contact support.

Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A nut is

used on the long die retaining screw to hold the locator assembly in place.

1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws.

2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces face

outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.

3. Insert the two die retaining pins.

4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the jaw and through both anvil dies, and tighten the screw

just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time.

5. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper so that their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces

face outward, when mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame.

6. Insert the two die retaining pins.

7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the jaw and through both crimper dies, and tighten the

screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time.

8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure that the anvils and crimpers align properly. Continue

closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvils

and crimpers in place, then tighten both die retaining screws.
