5.1. Wire Stripping Function
To strip insulation from wires:
- Identify the wire gauge (AWG) of the wire you intend to strip.
- Locate the corresponding stripping hole on the tool's jaws. The tool features marked holes for various AWG sizes (e.g., 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20-22 AWG).
- Insert the wire into the correct stripping hole, ensuring only the insulation is within the jaws and the conductor is positioned to be exposed.
- Close the handles firmly to cut through the insulation, then pull the tool away from the wire to remove the stripped insulation, exposing the conductor.

5.2. Wire Crimping Function
To crimp terminals onto wires:
- Select the appropriate terminal for your wire gauge and application.
- Strip the wire to the correct length, exposing enough conductor to fit fully into the terminal barrel.
- Insert the stripped wire into the terminal barrel.
- Locate the corresponding crimping section on the tool's jaws. The tool has designated areas for different terminal types and sizes (e.g., 22-18, 16-14, 12-10 AWG for insulated terminals, and specific holes for non-insulated terminals like 8-32, 10-24, 4-40, 6-32, 10-32).
- Place the terminal with the wire into the correct crimping section.
- Squeeze the handles firmly and completely until the crimp is secure. Release the handles and inspect the crimp for tightness.
