Tool Qualification Notes:
1. Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp.
2. The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp.
▲Insulation Crimp Note:
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design and/or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses “overlap”
form geometry in the insulation punch. This
produces an overlap insulation crimp. While the
insulation punch profile may appear “lopsided”, this
is a normal condition for this tool. See figure below.

24AWG UL1007: GRIPS BUCKLE
24AWG UL1015: GRIPS OVERLAP
Insulation Crimp Quality
Crimping small insulation diameter wire in the 22-24AWG profile may cause a buckled insulation crimp. This is
because the smaller insulation does not provide enough support to prevent the insulation grips from buckling while
they are trying to overlap form.
The buckled insulation crimp can be prevented by using a larger insulation diameter wire. For example, the
insulation crimps shown below are on a 24AWG wire. The UL1007 insulation does not provide enough support and
the insulation grips buckle. The larger UL1015 insulation provides better grip support and the grips overlap.
In general, buckling can be prevented in the 22-24AWG profile by using an insulation diameter that is at least
1.6mm (0.063 in).
If small insulation diameter must be used, insulation grip buckling is acceptable
provided that the insulation crimp does not damage the wire’s conductor and the
crimped terminal fits into the connector housing.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Crimp only the Molex terminals listed in the scope for this tool.
Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool frame and/or
crimp dies.
Open the tool by squeezing the handles together. At the end of the closing stroke,
the ratchet mechanism will release the handles and the hand tool will spring open.
See Figure 1.
Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal from the chart, and install the proper locator (See chart above and Locator
Installation on page 5).
2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the locator attached, push the locator button
on the back of the hand tool to bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.
3. While holding in the locator button, load the terminal into the proper nest opening in the locator, based on the
wire gauge or terminal type markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3.

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 locator 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 along with the locator if using the left handed
application. Follow the steps below:
1. The locator must be removed before reversing
the tooling.
2. Remove the M3 screw that holds the upper
tooling.

3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M3 screw. 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.
4. Reverse the lower tooling and tighten the M3 screw. Be sure the small
markings line up.
5. Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in the locator replacement
section.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and
responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft,
lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine
oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any other equipment it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight
automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil
transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the
electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from
becoming lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry
area.
Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do
not force the handles open or closed. The tool will open easily by pressing up
on the ratchet release lever in the movable handle. See Figure 11.
How to Adjust Tool Preload
(See Figure 12)
This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45
pounds. preload. It may be necessary
over the life of the tool to adjust tool
handle preload force. Listed below are
the steps required to adjust the crimping
force of the hand tool to obtain proper
crimp conditions:
1. Hold the hand tool in the palm of your
hand as shown in Figure 12. Using
the index finger squeeze the link
towards the top of the hand tool
frame. This will release the preload
adjustment wheel.

2. Rotate the setting wheel counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase handle force. The numbers will display higher.
To decrease handle force, rotate the setting wheel clockwise (CW).
3. Release the link to lock the setting wheel in place.
4. Check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is adjusted.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital
components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30
days. Should such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will
not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping,
fixturing, or use of handle extensions voids this warranty.
CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling.
CAUTIONS:
1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume or field repair. This tool is NOT intended for
production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock.
3. Wear eye protection at all times.
4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.
Certification
Molex does not certify or re-certify hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for customers to re-certify
hand tools.
This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than
25mm (1.00”) per minute. See the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull
testing.
If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased and the pull test
rerun, (See How to Adjust Preload).
When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
