1) Reel installation procedure. For the appropriate use of this machine you need 2 reels of contacts (same type). Nicomatic contacts are manufactured in a pitch of 2.54mm. By installing 2 reels and by placing the contacts on top of each other, you will obtain a 1.27mm pitch. You always have to pay attention that the reels need to be installed with the ID stickers in front of you.
Installation of the 2 reels onto the press support lever.
Lock the 2 reels with the metal locker.
ID stickers facing the operator.

2-1) Overlapping and approach area.
Place the two strips of contacts on the right side of the press. The strips of contacts need to be passed under the black part and then stacked (overlapped).
2-2) Front action bolt. This area is to lock the strips and allow the contacts to move in the direction of the crimping axis of the machine.
Unlock the stopper with the knurled knob and position the holes of the strips onto the teeth of the sprocket wheel.
Close the stopper and lock the two strips with the knurled knob.
Place the strips here and insert under the black part of the press.
Overlap the two strips to obtain a 1.27mm pitch.

3) Crimping procedure. You are ready to start the crimping procedure. Four steps are necessary to ensure a good crimping of Nicomatic contacts: contacts selection area, locking of the strip of contacts, setting the cable position and the crimping itself. Below you can see all the key areas you need to be careful at. These areas are detailed in the next chapters.

3-3) Cable position setting. In this step, please consider two main areas:
- Setting button - Target area
When you have placed your cable onto the lateral stop, you need to adjust the cable position with the setting button. For this, please use the target area. The cable will be in the right position when the needle end will be located between the first two conductors.

3-4) Crimping area. Now, you are ready to crimp! To start, place the lever into a vertical position by pulling it smoothly. This action allows the comb to maintain the contacts. Place the cable until stop against the comb (refer to picture A). Then, use the lever completely until the stop as shown on picture B. Finally pull up the lever. You can check the crimped cable. It is ready!
