4. Setup
The haisstronica HS-1167 crimping tool comes pre-assembled and ready for use. No initial setup is required beyond familiarizing yourself with its features.
- Inspect the Tool: Before first use, check the tool for any signs of damage or loose parts. Ensure the jaws open and close smoothly.
- Understand Wire Gauge Markings: Locate the AWG markings on the crimping jaws. These indicate the appropriate slot for different wire sizes (22-18 AWG, 16-14 AWG, 12-10 AWG, 8 AWG).
- Adjust Crimp Height (Optional): The crimp height of the star wheel is adjustable. Use a screwdriver to turn the star wheel to increase or decrease crimping force if needed for specific terminals. Turn clockwise for more force, counter-clockwise for less.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for proper crimping:
- Prepare the Wire: Strip the insulation from the end of the wire to the appropriate length for your terminal. Ensure the stripped wire is clean and free of frayed strands.
- Select the Correct Terminal and Jaw Slot: Choose a non-insulated terminal that matches your wire gauge. Identify the corresponding AWG slot on the crimping tool's jaws.
- Insert Terminal: Place the terminal into the correct crimping slot. Ensure the open ends of the terminal rest on the flat side of the jaws.
- Insert Wire: Insert the stripped wire fully into the terminal.
- Crimp: Squeeze the handles of the crimping tool firmly. The ratchet mechanism will engage and apply pressure until the crimp is complete and the handles automatically release. This ensures a consistent and secure connection.
- Inspect the Crimp: After crimping, visually inspect the connection to ensure it is tight and secure. Gently tug on the wire to confirm it is firmly held by the terminal.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris or residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the tool's finish or components.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot points and moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the crimping tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Keep the jaws closed when not in use to protect them.
- Inspection: Regularly check the jaws for wear or damage. If the jaws become worn or misaligned, the crimping quality may be affected.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Poor crimp quality (loose connection, deformed terminal) | Incorrect wire gauge or terminal size selected. Insufficient crimping force. Terminal not fully inserted into the jaw slot. | Ensure the wire and terminal match the selected AWG slot. Adjust the crimp height star wheel for more pressure (clockwise). Verify the terminal is seated correctly before crimping. |
| Handles do not release after crimping | Ratchet mechanism stuck. Excessive force applied. | Press the quick-release lever on the handle to disengage the ratchet. Ensure the correct crimp height is set; avoid over-crimping. |
| Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate | Lack of lubrication. Dirt or debris in the mechanism. | Apply a light machine oil to pivot points. Clean the tool thoroughly. |
