Step 1: Prepare the Connector and Cable Braid Prepare the connector and cable braid for band termination process (see DMC Website). Step 2: Prepare Band Using an appropriate size band, feed the end of the band through the narrow slot on the buckle twice. This will create a double-looped band. Never use a single-looped band. To hasten the termination process on smaller adapters, pull on the end of the band to reduce the diameter of the loop. Step 3: Insert Looped Band into Tool Squeeze the release lever and insert the end of the band into the nose of the tool. Ensure the orientation of the band matches the graphic on the body of the tool (coil down when the tool is held upright). Step 4: Positioning
Position the connector and the shield assembly through the band. Step 5: Tighten Band around Braid/Connector
Repeatedly squeeze the tensioning handle until the band closes around the assembly. Once the band is closed around the assembly, use half strokes of the handle until the band is tight against the braided cable. Release the tensioning handle and allow it to open fully. With one final stroke, close the tensioning handle until it locks against the tool body. This indicates that the band has been tightened to the pre-set tension. Step 6: Cut Off Once the tensioning handle is locked in place, squeeze the cut-off handle to finish the termination process. Both handles will open up on their own. (If shrinkable tubing is to be applied, it is recommended that the band is wrapped in tape and the excess braid folded back over the band to prevent cutting of shrinkable tubing). Step 7: Remove Excess Band Material Release the tensioning handle and then squeeze the release lever. While squeezing the release lever, carefully pull on the band and slide it out of the tool and discard.
