(3) Place wedge socket (3) in vise. (4) Make a loop in the cable (1) and put free (dead) end of cable back through hole in wedge socket (3). (5) Position cable (1) and wedge (4) in wedge socket (3). (6) Drive wedge (4) and cable loop into wedge socket (3). WARNING Cable can become frayed or contain broken wires. Wear heavy leather-palmed gloves when handling cable. Frayed or broken wires can injure hands. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel. NOTE • If the end of the cable is welded, the welded end should be cut off. This will allow the distortion of the cable strands, caused by the sharp bend around the wedge, to adjust themselves at the end of the line. • Make sure there are no rough edges on the wedge socket. NOTE The dead end of the cable should extend from the socket for a distance of 6 to 9 times the cable diameter.
