Inspection/Installation
Wipe the dies clean and inspect. Look for wear, corrosion, modifi-
cation, damage or other issues that may affect safe use. Confirm
that the dies are clearly marked, matched to each other and are ap-
propriate for the application. Do not use damaged, mismatched or
otherwise inappropriate dies.
Install the dies per the head instructions. Dies should fit snugly and
securely and the crimping profiles should align. Do not force dies
into the head. If there are any issues with die fit, do not use the dies.
Follow all electrical connector manufacturers' instructions, including
information on crimp location and order.
