OPERATION
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.
JAWS OPEN
LOCATOR
Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2. Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool shown in Figure 2.
Some terminals with large insulation grips may interfere with the crimp
tooling when swinging the locator into position. The terminal must then
Figure 1
be loaded into the locator in the closed/crimp position.
3. When using the locator, press down on the wire stop on the locator as shown in Figure 2. 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. Return the locator to its original position. Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Some large O.D. wires may
need to be placed into the terminal before closing the tool. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire.
See Figure 3.
5. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
6. 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.
7. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.

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 on page 2.

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. 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. See Figure 4.
4. Replace it with the desired locator by putting over the brass
pivot shaft and snapping it into place.

Maintenance
LUBRICATION POINTS
(BOTH SIDES) LIGHT OIL
(EVERY 3 MONTHS OR
5,000 CRIMPS)
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
Figure 5
like any fine piece of 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, shown in Figure 6 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 the ratchet release lever. See Figure 6.

1. Remove or fold back the handle grip from the handle to expose the eccentric axle and setting wheel.
2. Remove the locking screw with a 2mm hex wrench. The wrench set (63810-0101), is not supplied. It is sold
separately from the hand tool.
3. Turn the eccentric axle and setting wheel with the wrench or pliers Counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase handle
force.
4. Replace the locking screw, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to locking screw.
5. Replace the handle grip.
6. 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 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.
% 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.
