ATTENTION!
Fatigue symptoms
The crimping tool is only intended for "occasional" use with low strain.
 Using mechanical hand tools for long periods of time can lead to symptoms
of fatigue (e.g. tenosynovitis).
 When working for long periods of time, pneumatic or electric hand tools
should be used.
The following operating instructions contain general information on the use of the
crimping tool.
If additional die sets are used, observe the processing specifications for the re-
spective die sets. These contain specific information on the use of these die sets.
Read this information before using other dies with the crimping tool.
5.1 Crimping terminals
 Open the hand tool fully.
 Place the terminal in the appropriate crimp nest.
 Close the hand tool until the terminal is held by the upper and lower crimping dies.
 Position the stripped wire in the terminal as described in the terminal-specific TE
specification.
 Grip the wire firmly with one hand to maintain this position.
 Close the hand tool fully with the upper and lower handles.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury/crushing hazard
Crushing hazard when crimping, correcting the stranded wires
 Do not reach into the crimping zone while crimping (crushing hazard).
 Then release the handles slowly and the crimping tool will open automatically.
 The wire, including the crimped terminal, can be removed from the hand tool.
5.2 (Possible) operating error(s)
An incorrect crimp can be produced if the maximum pressure is not achieved while crimp-
ing.
Incomplete crimps must be discarded.
Incomplete crimps must not be reworked.
In the event of incorrect operation, the hand tool can be opened prematurely by releasing
the ratchet.
