Add a metal P-Clip or equivalent to the armature cable at a location that is close to the
motor for earthing the shield.
In order to add this part to the Armature Cable, remove a sufficient amount of outer sheath
in order to make direct contact with the exposed metal braid.
Ensure that the metal braid is not damaged in this process.
Remove the painted to expose the bare metal beneath. The shield is required to have a
good electrical connection to the machine earth.
