Do NOT deform insulation barrel or wire barrel. 5. Insert stripped wire into contact insulation and wire barrels until it is butted against the wire stop, as shown in Figure 3. 6. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles together until ratchet releases. Allow tool handles to open and remove crimped contact.

If a looser crimp is required, rotate the adjustment wheel CLOCKWISE to a lower–numbered setting. 4. Replace the lockscrew. 5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp height. If the dimension is acceptable, replace and secure the lockscrew.
