VHF COMMUNICATIONS TRANSCEIVER
Once the terminal is in the correct position, close the jaws gently until the terminal is held loosely
in place. Push wire stop down so that it rests snugly behind the contact portion of the terminal.
Strip the wire insulation back 1/8 inch and insert the wire through the insulation tabs into the
conductor tabs until the insulation hits the conductor jaw face or until the conductor touches the
wire stop.
WIRE STOP
Squeeze the handles until the crimp jaws close and the ratchet releases.
Straighten the terminal if necessary, then release the plier grips and remove the crimped terminal.
CRIMPING PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
If too much or too little pressure is needed to release the crimper's ratchet pawl at the end of
the crimp stroke, the ratchet can be easily adjusted. A spanner wrench provided with the tool can
be used to loosen the lock nut, and rotate the keyed stud clockwise for increased pressure and
counter-clockwise for decreased pressure. Once the desired pressure has been set, the lock nut
must be tightened again. Newer models may have a screwdriver adjustment.
