How to Use the Tool Correctly
- Open the jaws fully.
- Raise the wire stop.
- Insert the terminal into the correct nest, as follows:
A – 20-18 AWG Female when crimping 20 AWG wire
B – 20-18 AWG Male & 20-18 AWG Female when crimping 18 AWG wire
C – 16-14 AWG Males & Females - Lower the wire stop.
- Orient the terminal in the nest so that it butts against the wire stop.
- Close the jaws down to the top of the terminal openings.
- Insert the stripped wire until it hits the wire stop.
- Perform the crimp.
When crimping male terminals, it’s imperative to center the terminal over the nests in such a way that you do not bend the stops on either side of the terminals while performing the crimps. This is easiest to do during Step 5.
