How to Perform Crimping

• Open the pliers to their maximum opening (fig.1).

• Slowly bring the two handles of the pliers together, allowing the locking/unlocking mechanism to click three times (fig.2).

• Observe the retention pin on the die (fig.2).

• Insert the die, positioning the retention pin into the pliers’ slot (fig.3).

• Ensure that the plastic tab has locked the die in place, i.e., has moved upward (fig.4).

• Press the two handles of the pliers until they are fully closed (fig.4).

• Release the handles; the pliers should automatically and completely reopen (fig.5).

• If during closing the crimp is defective or the pliers become stuck for any reason, release the pliers by alternately pressing and releasing the handles while simultaneously pressing the release lever located inside the handle with your thumb (fig.6).
