! It is highly recommended that suitable tools are utilised for the

correct preparation on Paper Cables

! Use a propane gas torch with a soft flame
! Avoid a pencil like blue flame which is caused by unregulated supply
! Keep the flame on the move to ensure even shrinkage of all the

materials and also helps to reduce scorching

! Ensure that all components are kept clean and grease free during

installation

! Allow to cool before applying any mechanical strain
