6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator with your thumb and index finger, insert the

locator’s top hooks into the hand tool’s 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-Handed 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:

1. The locator must be removed before

reversing the tooling.

2. Remove the M3 BHCS, which is holding

the upper tooling.

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 tool frame. See

Figures 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.

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of and responsible for the following

maintenance steps:

1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean

brush or a 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

excessively. The tool was engineered for durability, but like any

other equipment, it needs cleaning and lubrication for a

maximum service life of trouble-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. See

Figure 10.
