• Efficient Cutting: Designed to cut both copper and aluminum wires.
• Crimping Capabilities: Supports crimping of insulated terminals (0.5-6 mm² / 22-10 AWG), non-insulated terminals (0.5-6 mm² / 24-10 AWG), and ignition terminals (7-8 mm²).
• Durable Construction: Made with high-quality metal components and an ergonomic plastic/rubber handle for enhanced performance and comfort.

3. Setup

The Total THT152429 is a hand-powered tool and requires no batteries or external power source for its primary functions. Before first use, inspect the tool for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects. Ensure all moving parts operate smoothly.

Initial Inspection:

1. Examine the handles for secure attachment and integrity.
2. Verify that the stripping jaws open and close freely without obstruction.
3. Check the cutting blades for sharpness and alignment.
4. Confirm the crimping dies are clean and free of debris.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Wire Stripping

1. Select Wire Gauge: Identify the correct stripping hole on the tool that matches the gauge of the wire (10 AWG to 24 AWG / 0.2 to 6 mm²).
2. Insert Wire: Place the wire into the selected stripping hole, ensuring the insulation is positioned correctly within the jaws.
3. Squeeze Handles: Firmly squeeze the handles together. The tool will automatically grip the wire, cut the insulation, and pull it away, exposing the conductor.
4. Release: Release the handles to free the stripped wire.

4.2. Wire Cutting

1. Position Wire: Place the copper or aluminum wire into the designated cutting blades located on the tool.
2. Squeeze Handles: Apply firm pressure to the handles to cut through the wire.

4.3. Wire Crimping

The tool features dedicated crimping dies for various terminal types.

• Insulated Terminals: Use the 0.5-6 mm² (22-10 AWG) crimping section.
• Non-Insulated Terminals: Use the 0.5-6 mm² (24-10 AWG) crimping section.
• Ignition Terminals: Use the 7-8 mm² crimping section.

1. Select Die: Choose the appropriate crimping die for your terminal type and size.
2. Insert Terminal: Place the terminal into the selected crimping die.
3. Insert Wire: Insert the stripped wire into the terminal.
4. Squeeze Handles: Squeeze the handles firmly until the crimp is complete and secure.

4.4. Non-Contact Voltage Detection

The tool is equipped with a non-contact voltage detection feature. This function allows for the detection of live AC voltage without direct contact with the conductor.

1. Activate Detection: The voltage detection feature is integrated into the tool's design. Specific activation steps may vary; refer to the tool's markings for indicators.
2. Approach Conductor: Bring the detection tip of the tool close to the wire or electrical component you wish to test for voltage.
3. Observe Indication: The tool will provide a visual or audible indication (if equipped) when live AC voltage is detected.
4. Safety Precaution: Always verify the absence of voltage with a known working voltage tester before touching any electrical conductors. This feature is for preliminary detection only.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Total THT152429 tool.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or wire fragments. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot points and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cutting blades for dullness or damage and the stripping jaws for wear.
