If the dies do not bottom, adjust the ratchet as follows: 1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet adjustment wheel. 2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel from the opposite side of the frame. 3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If the dies do not bottom, rotate the adjustment wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a higher–numbered setting. 4. Replace the lockscrew. Ensure that the tool and dies are clean by wiping them with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any debris with a clean, soft brush. Do not use objects that could damage the tool. When not in use, keep handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies, and store in a clean, dry area.
