4.5. Ratchet Inspection
The ratchet feature on these hand tools should be
checked to ensure that the ratchet does not release
prematurely, allowing the crimping dies to open before
they have fully bottomed. Obtain a 0.025–mm
[.001–in.] shim that is suitable for checking the
clearance between the bottoming surfaces of the
crimping dies. Proceed as follows:
Weight: Approx. 622.6 g [1 lb. 6 oz.]
1. Select the maximum size wire and strip it
according to dimensions listed in the drawing
shipped with the tool.
2. Select contact and crimp section corresponding
to the selected wire size (refer to the drawing
shipped with the tool).
3. Position the contact and wire in the crimping
dies, as described in the CRIMPING
PROCEDURE section.

5. REVISION SUMMARY
4. Hold the wire in place and squeeze the handles
until the ratchet releases. Hold the handles in this
position, maintaining just enough tension to keep
the dies closed.
5. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the wire crimper and the wire anvil. See
Figure 1. If the clearance is 0.025 mm [.001 in.] or
less (on at least two of the bottoming surfaces), the
ratchet is satisfactory. If clearance exceeds 0.025
mm [.001 in.], the ratchet is out of adjustment and
must be repaired. See Section 5.
