REVISION SUMMARY.

The FRONT OF TOOL has the “AMP” marking on the

link. The BACK OF TOOL (Wire Side), into which the

wire is inserted, has the wire size marked on the link.

This tool features a terminal locator, two insulation

adjustment pins, and a CERTI–CRIMP hand crimping

tool ratchet control. The locator is spring–loaded to

position and hold the terminal in the tool.

The insulation adjustment pins are used to regulate

the crimp height of the terminal insulation barrel. See

Paragraph 3.2. The CERTI–CRIMP hand crimping

tool ratchet control ensures full crimping of the

terminal. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release

until the tool handles have been FULLY closed.

The crimping jaws bottom before the

CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control

releases. This is a designfeature that ensures

maximum electrical and tension performance of

the crimp. Do NOT re-adjust the ratchet.
