1. INTRODUCTION
Pneumatic CERTI--CRIMP Tool Holder Assemblies
356302--1 and 356303--1 are used with Pneumatic
Tooling Assemblies 189721--1 or 189722--1.
Pneumatic CERTI--CRIMP Tool Holder Assembly
1673611--1 is used with Pneumatic Tooling Assembly
1490567--1.
The tool holders are designed to accept
interchangeable crimping heads for crimping various
types of connectors.
For information concerning setup and operation of the
pneumatic tools, refer to Customer Manual 409--5862.
Read these instructions thoroughly before using the
tool holder.
NOTE
Measurements are in metric units [with U.S.
customary units in brackets]. Figures and
illustrations are for reference only and are not
drawn to scale.
A strip of adhesive--backed safety labels, printed in
various languages, is packaged with the tool holder
assembly. Remove the appropriate language label
from the strip and attach it to the tool holder or safety
sleeve. The safety sleeve is supplied with the small
and large tool holder assemblies. For these
assemblies, attach the safety labels to the safety
sleeve.
CAUTION
Be sure to select the correct assembly of tool
holder and cam. If incorrect assembly is used,
system will not operate properly.

1. If cam setscrew is not installed in cam, thread
setscrew into cam two to three turns.
2. Place cam (with setscrew) onto piston rod. The
cam should butt against the piston rod face. If not,
turn cam setscrew
counterclockwise
until cam fits
on piston rod properly.
CAUTION
Overtightening the cam setscrew may damage
the setscrew or cam.

3. Tighten cam setscrew, then pull on cam to
ensure that it is firmly attached.
4. Properly align tool holder ratchet pawl with the
cam teeth (shown in Figure 2) and push tool holder
onto power unit so that it passes over the friction
ring on the power unit piston.
5. Slide tool holder locking ring toward tool holder
until it butts against the stop ring on the power unit
piston. Then turn ring

on the bottom of the tool holder. Tighten locking
ring to fully secure the tool holder.
NOTE
When tool holder is properly installed, the tool
holder locking ring should be butted against the
stop ring, and threads of the tool holder should
not be visible. If not properly installed, check that
correct assembly of cam and tool holder is being
used and that they are aligned properly.

important that the crimp height be verified. Also,
general use and subsequent wear may cause the tool
to go out of adjustment. It is recommended that the
crimp height be inspected, and adjusted if necessary,
on a regular basis by quality control personnel.
1. Connect pneumatic tool to an adequate air
supply between 620 to 690 kPa [90 to100 psi]. For
specific information on air line requirements and air
hose installation, refer to the instructions packaged
with the pneumatic tooling assembly.
2. Place a contact on the crimp nest and place a
properly prepared wire of the correct size into the
wire barrel.
3. Place a 0.025--mm [.001--in.] shim between the
crimping jaws where the jaws bottom against each
other.
4. Slowly crimp the contact onto the wire until the
crimping jaws or dies bottom on the shim. Check
that the ratchet releases after the jaws or dies
bottom.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, DISCONNECT TOOL
FROM AIR SUPPLY before adjusting the pawl
position. After the adjustment, ALWAYS ensure
that the tool holder pivot pins are fully tightened
to avoid personal injury or damage to the tool.
6. Rotate the tool holder one full turn in each
direction and note that the tool holder locking ring
rotates with the holder.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, periodically check that
tool holder locking ring is tightly securing the tool
holder.
After installation, ALWAYS ensure that the tool
holder pivot pins are fully tightened to avoid
personal injury or damage to the tool.
Removal is the reverse of installation.

7. For instructions on installing the crimping head
(and, if applicable, die set), refer to the instruction
sheet packaged with the head.
4. CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The tool holder assembly features an adjustable
eccentric and a ratchet mechanism with a range of
settings. The position of the pawl ensures that the
tool completes the cycle. The eccentric controls the
amount of cam pressure exerted on the crimping
head jaws or dies during the crimping procedure.
Although the ratchet is preset prior to shipment, it is
5. If the ratchet releases before the jaws or dies
bottom, loosen the three securing screws (see
Figure 1), remove the eccentric adjustment screw
and rotate the eccentric
clockwise
to a higher
setting. Repeat as required.
NOTE
If the ratchet does not release and the tool will
not return, slowly actuate the tool until the force
of the cam teeth is off the pawl, then push on the
pawl with a small screwdriver until the pawl is
released from the teeth, release the tool handle
and allow the tool to return. See Figure 3.

use objects that could damage the tool. Re--lubricate
tool holder (refer to Paragraph 5.1,B) before placing it
back into service.
B. Lubrication
Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
with a high quality grease. (Commercially available
Molykote grease is recommended.) Lubricate
according to the following schedule:
Holder used in daily production—lubricate daily
Holder used daily (occasional)—lubricate weekly
Holder used weekly—lubricate monthly
Figure 3
6. If the ratchet does not release after the jaws or
dies bottom, loosen the three securing screws,
remove the eccentric adjustment screw and rotate
the eccentric
counterclockwise
to a lower setting.
Repeat as required.
7. If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
dimensions provided in the appropriate application
specification (114--series), the crimping head
and/or dies are defective and must be replaced.
Wipe excess grease from tool holder, particularly from
jaw or die closure areas. Grease transferred from the
jaw or die closure area onto certain terminations may
affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections of the tool should be performed
by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled
inspections should remain with the tool or be supplied
to supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Inspection frequency should be based upon amount
of use, working conditions, operator training and skill,
and established company standards.
1. Inspect the tool holder for missing pins or parts.
If parts are missing or defective, replace them by
referring to Section 6.
2. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Make sure
the rollers on the crimping head turn freely with
minimal resistance. Replace any worn parts.
3. Inspect crimping jaws or dies for flattened,
chipped, or broken areas. Worn or damaged
surfaces are objectionable and will affect the
quality of the crimp.
4. When the tool is not in use, store in a clean, dry
area.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
DANGER
To avoid injury, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR
SUPPLY before performing any maintenance or
inspection procedures.
It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection
program be performed periodically to ensure
dependable and uniform terminations. The tool holder
should be inspected once a week. Frequency of
inspection should be adjusted to suit your
requirements through experience, and depends on:
1. Care, amount of use, and handling of the tool.
2. Type and size of the products crimped.
3. Degree of operator skill.
4. Presence of abnormal amounts of dust and dirt.
5. Your own established standards.
The tool holder is thoroughly inspected before
packaging. Since there is the possibility of damage
during shipment, the tool holder should be inspected
immediately upon arrival at your facility.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Replaceable parts are listed in Figure 4. Parts other
than those listed in Figure 4 should be replaced by
Tyco Electronics to ensure quality and reliability of the
tool. Order replacement parts through your Tyco
Electronics Representative, or call 1--800--526--5142,
or send a facsimile of your purchase order to
1--717--986--7605, or write to:
