CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool or die. 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 listed from the preceding charts. Then install it in the proper locator (See chart above and see 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. 4. Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the crimping position. 5. Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position engages. See Figure 4. 6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the wire stop. See Figure 5. 7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed. Release the handles to open the jaws. Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed. 8. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pulling on the wire. 9. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location. 10. On some large O.D. wires, it may not be possible to insert the wire with the tool partially closed. Those wires should be inserted with the hand tool in the open position. Insert the wire above the terminal in the punch and against the wire stop then close the tool. See Figure 6.

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.
