2. DESCRIPTION
Each tool consists of a head containing two stationary
crimping dies (anvils) and two movable crimping dies
(indenters), a locator, an insulation crimping
adjustment pin, and handles with a ratchet. See
Figure 1.
These tools are members of the CERTI–CRIMP*
hand crimping tool family. The ratchet on these tools
ensures full crimping of the product. Once engaged,
the ratchet will not release until the handles have
been FULLY closed.
When closed, the crimping dies form a crimping
chamber with two sections: an insulation barrel
section and a wire barrel section. The insulation barrel
section crimps the insulation barrel of the product
onto the wire insulation and, simultaneously, the wire
barrel section crimps the wire barrel of the product
onto the wire conductor(s).
The locator positions the product in the crimping
chamber. The insulation crimping adjustment pin is
used to regulate the height of the insulation crimp.
Each tool handles are color coded (yellow) to
correspond to the color code of the product. Each tool
produces a dot code (one dot) on the crimp to
correspond to the given wire size range. Refer to
Figure 2.

For other tools accompanied by this instruction
sheet, follow the instructions for the tool used to
crimp the same wire size.
The crimping dies bottom before the ratchet
releases. This design ensures maximum
electrical and tensile performance of the crimp.
DO NOT re-adjust the ratchet.

NOTE
1. Insert the insulation crimp adjustment pin in the
proper position according to Section 4.
2. Open the crimping dies by closing the tool
handles until the ratchet releases, then allow the
handles to open FULLY.
3. Place the terminal in the crimping chamber so
that the wire barrel butts against the locator. Refer
to Figure 4.
4. Close the tool handles until the terminal is held
firmly in place. DO NOT deform the terminal.
5. Insert a properly stripped wire into the terminal
wire barrel until the end of the wire conductor(s)
butts against the locator.

DO NOT use wire with nicked or missing
conductor(s).
Make sure that the insulation color code of the
product matches the color of the tool handles.
Refer to Figure 1.
DO NOT allow the wire insulation to enter the
terminal wire barrel.
