Do not exceed working load limit.
Prior to use, carefully inspect this product for wear or deformation. If detected, do not use product.
Always make sure the wire is inserted properly before applying tension. Make sure grip is locked before making a splice or stapling wire.
Sudden release in tension on wire can cause whipping action. Make sure all bystanders are at a safe distance before applying tension to wire.
