Note:
A crimp height chart is provided with this manual as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands,
insulation diameters, and durometers available, actual crimp height measurements may very slightly. An
occasional, destructive, pull force test should be performed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value Must
exceed the Minimum pull force specifications listed.
Locator Replacement
See the parts list on the last page of this
document for the proper locator order number.
Follow the steps below to replace the locator.
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in
Figure 7A with your thumb and index finger.
The lower tabs of the locator should
disengage from the hand tool.
3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The
top locator hooks should slip out of the top
slots easily. See Figure 7A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the
hand tool is in the open position.
5. Press the red insert down as far as it will go
as shown in Figure 7B.
6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator with your thumb and index finger, insert the locators top hooks (2)
into the hand tool top slots.
7. Rotate the locator down and press the lower tabs into the two bottom slots of the hand tool. To secure the
locator into place, the lower tabs must snap into
place on the hand tool frame.
Right or Left Hand Operation
This hand tool has an added feature that can be
converted from a right handed application to a left
handed application. It is necessary to reverse the
tooling if using the left handed application along with
the locator. Follow the steps below:
1. The locator must be removed before reversing
the tooling.
2. Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper
tooling.
3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and
replace the M3 BHCS. Make sure the small
markings on the front and back of the hand tool frame, match up and are on the outside of the hand tool frame.
See Figure 8 and 9.
