6. Carefully remove the roll spring, then
tape up the last 6 mm (
1 ⁄
4
in.) of the copper
tape with a piece of PVC tape, to stop
further unravelling.
7. Clean and degrease the outer sheath
for a distance of 100 mm (4 in.) from the
cut position. Using slight tension, wrap
one layer of sealant tape (red) around the
black outer insulation with a small overlap
of 5 mm (
1 ⁄
5
in.) over the copper tape
screen, (see photo 5).
8. Place the structure bond braid over
the cable so that it sits over the copper
screen and up against the sealant tape
(red). Ensure that the braid loops are tight
around the copper screen. Tape the bond
braid into place with PVC tape, (see
photo 6). (Ultimately, this braid may
require electrical bonding to the structure.)
9. At a distance 70 mm (2 3 ⁄
4
in.) from the
end of the cable, carefully cut a notch in
triple layered insulation no deeper than
1 mm (
3 ⁄
64
in.). Then using the insulation-
cutting tool, cut around the circumference
of the triple layered insulation until the
copper underneath is exposed.
10. With a knife, carefully cut along the
70 mm (2
3 ⁄
4
in.) length of triple layered
insulation on the cable to a depth of no
more than 1 mm (
3 ⁄
64
in.). Be sure not to
cut too deep, as to expose or damage the
copper layer underneath. Starting from
the end of the cable, carefully remove the
triple layered insulation and discard.
