BEFORE Installing
Visually inspect the tool to verify that the protective cable is not cut or damaged.
Prior to installation of the USJL-001 ensure that all four insulated handles
are in the receiving position. This means that the insulated handle has been
unthreaded so that the copper attachment ferrule is just barely recessed inside
the black insulated handle. The ferrule should not protrude from the insulated
handle.
Also prior to installation ensure that the ferrule, when in the receiving position,
has a wide enough attachment slot opening. If necessary unthread the ferrule
past the insulated handle and use a large at head screwdriver to open the slot
accordingly.
