How to use

Strip the conductor to the appropriate length, insert the wire end sleeve or ferrule fully onto the conductor, position the ferrule between the crimper jaws, and apply steady pressure until the crimp is complete. For twin ferrules align both conductors inside the sleeve before crimping. Inspect the crimped connection to ensure full compression and good contact surface.
