CHAPTER 22 ■ SOLDERING AND CONNECTING- Gently squeeze the crimp tool handles, causing the flaps to be curved over the
stripped portion of the wire. - Remove the terminal and wire.
- Insert the terminal and wire into the 1.8 mm diameter slot of the crimp tool, so
that only the flaps over the insulated portion of the wire will be crimped. Again,
the flaps should face toward the numbers. To do so, I need to flip the terminal
upside down on my crimp tool. - Gently squeeze the crimp tool handles, causing the flaps to be curved over the
insulated portion of the wire. - When complete, the terminal and wire should look like Figure 22-17. Because there
are two sets of flaps being crimped over two thicknesses of wire, you have to crimp
each set of flaps individually in different-size diameter slots of the crimp tool.

while the outer set of flaps remains open over the plastic insulated portion of the motor wire
