NThe length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16” (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a

short circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

CDo not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.
