When making an adjustment, turn the adjustment screw half a rotation or less, and then re-check

your bell mouth and brush length.

If you feel or hear a click during the rotation, you have reached the limits of the adjustment.

Once the bell mouth and brush length are properly adjusted, follow the tool operation instructions

listed below.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Crimp only the Molex terminals 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 2.

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 3.

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 4.

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 5.

6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and

against the locator. See Figure 6.

7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the
