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.
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, actual crimp height measurements may very slightly. An occasional,
destructive, pull force test should be preformed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value must exceed the
minimum pull force specifications listed.
CAUTION:
Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage
can occur to the tool or die.

Anvils and Punches Installation
1. Insert the Anvils into the bottom slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 10 long BHCS and tighten in place.
2. Insert the Punches into the top slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 18 long BHCS and tighten in place. See
Figure 1.
Locator Installation and Removal
Follow the steps below to install or replace the locator. See Figure 2.
To install the locator
1. Position the locator with the hole over the brass pivot shaft and snap it into place.
To remove the locator
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Swing the existing locator open and away from the hand tool.
3. Firmly press down on the brass pivot shaft with your thumb, while pulling the locator up. Slip the locator off the
top of the brass pivot shaft.

Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the
preceding charts.
2. Some terminals with large insulation grips may
interfere with the crimp tooling when swinging
the locator into position. This terminal must
then be loaded into the locator in the
closed/crimp position. See Figure 3.

3. Press down on the wire stop on the locator as
shown in Figure1. Insert the proper terminal

into the proper nest opening. Make sure when
choosing the nest opening, it will correspond with the A, B or C profile on the hand tool.

4. Insert the proper wire over the terminal.
5. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. See Figure 4 and 5.
6. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
7. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on
the wire. The terminal locator can be in either position.
8. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
For the Battery Power Tool:
1. Cycle the Battery Power Tool to crimp the
terminal to the wire.
2. Remove the crimped terminal from the
terminal locator by pressing down on the wire
stop and gently pulling on the wire. The
terminal locator can be in either position.
3. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for
proper crimp location.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool
be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following maintenance steps:
Figure 6A
LUBRICATION
POINTS
(BOTH SIDES)
LIGHT OIL
(EVERY MONTH
OR
5,000 CRIMPS)
Figure 6B
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 in the tool head are protected with a thin coat of high
quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. This tool was engineered for durability, but like any fine piece of
equipment, it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. The use of
light oil, such as 30 weight automotive oil, every 5,000 crimps or monthly, will significantly enhance the tool life
and ensure a stable calibration. See Figure 6A or 6B for lubrication points.
4. Store the tool in a clean and dry area when not in use.
Miscrimps or Jams for Crimp Hand Tools Only
(See Figure 9)
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 rotating the small slotted screw marked with an arrow. See Figure 9.
Warranty
This tool kit is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool kit 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 kit free of charge. This repair or exchange
will not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools.
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.
CAUTION:
Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
Certification
Molex does not certify or re-certify commercial grade 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.
%
When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
%
This tool is very difficult to disassemble and reassemble. Customer repair is not recommended.
