Termination Depth Adjustment
Termination depth is set by:
1. Loosening the lock nut located on top of the
termination head.
2. To raise the punch depth, turn the screw
clockwise. To lower, turn the screw counter-
clockwise. The punch depth should be adjusted
so that a terminated wire is touching the lower
surface of the terminal, but is not crushed and
the crimp tongs are securely gripping the wire
without cutting into the insulation. See
Appendix A for termination specifications.
3. Terminate a wire and check the settings.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the termination depth
is correct.
5. Then tighten the lockout.
