CAUTION
It is important to hold the tool as
steady and perpendicular to the
fastener as possible during the
crimp/cut cycle in order to maintain
consistent tensioning of the cable
after the tool is removed.)
d.
Elongated Ferrules. Ferrules of extra length,
having a radius at one end and a straight surface at the
other end, may be used in applications which restrict the
clearance for the installation tool nose to be placed in
correct alignment with the fastener (such as low profile
fastener heads, recess locations, or obstructions by
structures or installed components). See figures 2-88
and 2-89.
Figure 2-88. Correct Application of Safety Cable
NOTE
Always install elongated ferrules with
the radius end toward the fastener, and
the straight end in the tool crimp cavity.
Double check cable tension between
fasteners after removal of application
tool.
NOTE
Radius required on 0.032 inch diameter
and larger elongated ferrules. Radius
