until it is flat against the vise jaws at the mark made
made on the wire rope.
3. Use a suitable tool and cut the cable as shown in the
illustration following. For 1/8 in. cable the recom-
mended length is 5/8 in. past the end of the sleeve.
4. Unlay the cable strands by gently forcing a screw-
driver between the outer strands to unlay the cable.
When done properly the outer strands will form a
symmetrical basket. Do not straighten out the spiral
lay of the strands, unlay any wires that make up the
strand, or allow the strands to cross each other
inside the sleeve.
5. Install the plug supplied with the kit by placing the
plug in the center of the strands starting with the
small tapered end of the plug. Use a metal tube
(plug driver) and hammer to drive the plug into the
sleeve while assuring that the strands are spaced
somewhat equally around the plug. Drive the plug
until it is firmly seated and no more than 1/3 of the
plug is visible from above the sleeve.
