PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use 
and low volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.

Platform Crimping Die Assemblies 90390-3 and 
90391-3 are used in Platform Hand Tool Frame 
58078-3 (Instruction Sheet 408-6976). The die 
assemblies crimp the Ultra-Fast Fully Insulated 
FASTON* Terminals listed in Figure 2. Read These 
instructions before using the Platform Hand Tool 
Frame and Platform Crimping Dies.

Reasons for reissue are provided in Section 7, 
REVISION SUMMARY.

Each die assembly consists of an upper die (crimper) 
and a lower die (anvil), a retaining screw (on the upper 
die), and a hex wrench for securing the lower die to 
the platform of the hand tool frame.

The die assemblies are identified by part numbers, 
color dot codes, and applicable wire range 
designations. See Figure 1. The 90390-3 die 
assembly has a red color dot on both the crimper and 

the anvil, while the 90391-3 die assembly has a blue 
color dot on the crimper and the anvil. The color 
coding on the die assembly corresponds to the color 
coding on translucent insulation of the Ultra-Fast 
FASTON terminal for easier identification when 
crimping.

Determine the part number of the terminal you are 
crimping, then refer to the table in Figure 2 and select 
the appropriate die assembly. Install dies as described 
below.

1. Squeeze the tool handles together until they 
bottom. Then allow them to open fully.

2. Hold the hand tool frame so that the back of 
the tool is facing you and note the socket head 
screw located in the lower die platform. See 
Figure 3.

3. Slide the lower die onto the lower platform, 
ensuring that the drilled holes on the side of the 
lower die line up with the socket head screw.

4. With the lower die in place, turn the socket 
head screw (on the die platform) clockwise until 
snug. Do NOT overtighten.

1. Remove the die retaining screw from the die 
assembly.

2. Position the upper die in upper die platform of 
the tool. Thread the die retaining screw through 
the mounting hole in the top of tool and tighten 
the screw until it is snug but NOT secured.

3. While guiding the upper die into alignment with 
the lower die, slowly close the tool handles until 
the dies bottom.

4. Tighten the upper die retaining screw until the 
die is secure.

5. Squeeze the tool handles together until the 
ratchet releases. Allow the tool handles to open 
fully. The tool is now ready for use.
