1. INTRODUCTION

CERTI--CRIMP hand crimping tools listed in Figure 1

are used to crimp the products onto the wire listed in

Figure 2.

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in

408- 1559 These tools are members of the CERTI--CRIMP hand crimping tool family. The ratchet ensures full crimping of the product. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the handles have been FULLY closed. CAUTION ! The crimping jaws bottom before the ratchet releases. This design feature assures maximum tensile performance of the crimp. DO NOT re--adjust the ratchet. Refer to Figure 3 to ensure that the correct tool and product combination is being used.

Hold the wire in position, and complete the crimp by closing the tool handles until the ratchet releases. 8. Release the tool handles, allow the handles to open fully, and remove the crimped spare wire cap.

408- 1559 4. INSULATION CRIMP ADJUSTMENT 5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION The insulation crimp section of the hand tool has three positions: 1 (tight), 2 (medium), and 3 (loose) to adjust the wire insulation crimp grip. To adjust the insulation grip, proceed as follows: Hand crimping tools are inspected before shipment.

408- 1559 B. Gaging Crimping Chamber 4. Repeat the gage inspection for the insulation crimp section of the crimping chamber, making sure to use the correct plug gage. This inspection requires the use of plug gages conforming to the dimensions listed in Figure 8. To gage the crimping chamber, proceed as follows: If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage inspection, the tool is considered dimensionally correct. If the crimping chamber does not conform to the inspection, the tool must be repaired.

While holding the wire in place, squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet releases. Holding the tool in this position, maintain just enough pressure to keep the jaws closed. 4. Check the clearance between the bottoming surfaces of the jaws. If the clearance is .025 mm [.001 in.] or less, the ratchet is satisfactory. If clearance exceeds .025 mm [.001 in.
