As shown in figure 2. with the cable clamp released back, fit a single
row socket into either corner of the carriage. Snap the connector into
the channel against the ball indent to secure in position.
3
A. Push wires into connector channels
Lay the cable or discrete wires against the connector. Push wires into
the connector channels so that they are retained, see figure 3. Close
the cable clamp down so that it clips on the carriage, firmly holding the
cable. The carriage is now ready to load into the plier base.
4
A. Start position, carriage flush with end of base
Slide the carriage into the plier base as shown in figure 1. Provided the
connector is set in the corner of the carriage then the first terminating
position will be when the carriage is flush with the end of the base, see
figure 4.
Operate the plier to terminate the first position. The carriage should be
indexed to the next position by pushing it along the base. Continue
terminating and indexing until the connection is complete. Slide the
carriage out, and release the cable clamp to remove the assembly.
The carriage can be fed into the plier base from the
left or right hand side

Taking the double row carriage, with the cable clamp released back,
fit a double row socket into either corner of the carriage as indicated
in figure 5. The connector should seat onto the registration slots so
that the connector body is level with the carriage wall, see figure 1.
Lay the cable into the connector channels as shown in figure 3, pushing
the wires down so they are retained. Clip the cable clamp down to hold
the cable firmly.
Slide the carriage into the plier base and locate the first position with
the carriage flush to the base end (see figure 4). Follow the terminating
procedure as for single row sockets.
When the 1st row is complete, release the connector and turn it over to
terminate the other side following the same procedure as before.
Note: For double row sockets, the first row must be terminated before
pre-loading the second row with cable.
Adjustment
An M3 cap screw and locknut are provided to adjust the insertion depth
of the wires into the IDC.
To adjust, loosen the locknut, rotate the cap screw with the Hex key
provided and re-tighten the locknut.
The tool is preset for 28 to 26 a.w.g. wires with outside diameter (over
the insulation) of 0.9mm.
If the tool is used with wires with thinner insulation (overall diameter
less than 0.9mm), increase the depth of insertion by rotating the cap
screw anticlockwise.
For wires with thicker insulation (overall diameter more than 0.9mm),
decrease the depth of insertion by rotating the cap screw clockwise.
Ensure that the locknut is tight when the tool is in use.
Never rotate the cap screw sufficiently far anticlockwise that it fails to
function as a stop. If the stop screw is ineffective, the full handle
pressure will be applied to the carriage and damage caused to the wire
and connector.
