3. DESCRIPTION
(See Figure 1)
The tools feature a metal plunger and sliding sleeve.
There is a pin in the plunger shaft that limits how far
the plunger can extend past the end of the sleeve.
The plunger shaft is threaded to receive a plastic
handle, or to be used with a bench mounting plate.
The handle and mounting plate are included in the kit.
The threaded end of the plunger is flat on both sides
so that it can also be mounted in a vise. Figure 2
shows typical bench and vise mountings.
4. Carefully slide cable through enclosure so that
enough cable protrudes to apply the connector and
shielding. Instruction sheet 408–9172 covers
connector application procedures; and 408–9218
covers shielding.
5. MAINTAINING THE TOOL
Inspect the tool when you receive it and occasionally
thereafter. When not in use, store tool in a clean, dry
area. If parts are lost or damaged, refer to Figure 1
for the correct part numbers, and order replacements
