INSULATED SPLICE CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the handles in the open position, insert the splice into the proper crimp pocket (See Figure 1) so that the crimp is located on the barrel of the splice
(See Figure 3). Refer to product packaging for selection of proper crimp pocket.
2. Close the handles until the barrel is held snugly in position — do not deform the barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire into the splice until the wire stops. Refer to product packaging for wire strip length. Crimp the splice by closing the handles until the
controlled cycle mechanism releases. Upon release, the handles will open automatically and the crimped splice can be removed.
4. Remove the splice and repeat operation for crimping the other end of the splice.

3. Using the appropriate gage member, attempt
to insert the NO GO gage into the die opening.
The NO GO side may partially enter the die
