in place. Push wire stop down so that it rests snugly behind the contact portion of the terminal.

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 ad.iustment.
