1. Be safe first: Before doing any electrical work, always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from possible flying metal fragments.

2. Choose the correct non-insulated terminal: Make sure the non-insulated terminal you choose matches the wire size and application needs. Look at the terminals to make sure they have no obvious defects or damage.

3. Prepare the wire: Use a wire stripper to carefully remove about 1/4 to 3/8 inch (6-10 mm) of insulation from the end of the wire. Make sure you don't damage any of the wire's filaments in the process.

4. Correct wire stripping: In order to ensure the quality of crimping, make sure not to damage the conductors inside the wire when stripping the insulation layer of the wire. Use the appropriate size peeler, twist gently and apply appropriate pressure.

5. Insert the wire: Insert the stripped wire end into the barrel of the non-insulated terminal. Make sure the wire can fully enter the barrel and make full contact with the metal.

6. Install the terminals: Place the wires and terminals into the appropriate slots of the crimp tool. Be sure to select the correct slot to accommodate the terminal size being used.

7. Apply pressure evenly: When using a crimping tool, applying pressure evenly is critical. Make sure the handle is squeezed evenly to ensure the barrel of the terminal tightly surrounds the wire.

8. Check the crimping: After the crimping is completed, visually check whether the connection is safe and reliable. Check to see if the wires are slipping in the terminals and if there is any damage to the terminals or wires. The crimp should create an even connection that completely surrounds the wire.

9. Perform a pull test on the connection: If possible, perform a pull test to ensure the strength of the connection. Pull gently on the wire to make sure it doesn't pull out of the terminal. If the wire comes out easily, the connection may not be secure and needs to be re-crimped.

10. Trim excess wire: If there is excess wire left on the outside of the terminal, use a wire cutter to trim it flush with the end of the terminal. This prevents any unnecessary exposed wires.

11. Repeat for other connections: If there are multiple non-insulated terminals to be processed, repeat the above process for each terminal to ensure that the quality and tightness of each connection are consistent.

12. Log and tag: It is a good practice to tag and log the connection after completing it. This will help with troubleshooting and future maintenance if needed.
