How to use the HSC8 6-6 crimping tool

1. Preparing the wire

• Cut the wire to the appropriate length.
• Remove insulation from the end of the wire (approx. 8–10 mm) using a wire stripper.
• Check the strands – they should be evenly arranged and undamaged.

2. Installing the sleeve

• Choose the appropriate insulated sleeve matched to the cross-section of the wire.
• Slide the sleeve onto the stripped end of the wire until it stops.
• Make sure all strands are inside the sleeve and not protruding.

3. Crimping

• Open the crimping tool by pressing the handles.
• Place the sleeve in the jaws of the crimping tool – the tool will automatically adjust to the size of the sleeve.
• Insert the wire into the sleeve.
• Crimp the handles until the tool's ratchet mechanism releases itself.
• Remove the wire – the sleeve should be tightly crimped, with no slack.

4. Quality control

• Visually check if the sleeve is evenly crimped.
• Gently pull the wire – it should not come out of the sleeve.
• If necessary, repeat the process with a new sleeve.
