6. Disassemble the feeder cable connector into two parts: front part and back part.
And then insert the feeder cable into the back part until it contacts the first
corrugation of the cable.
7. Insert the tube expander of the cutter into the feeder cable and then screw left
and right to expand the external copper conductor, as shown in Fig. 8.6-5.

8. Check if there are copper bits left in the conductor and if the conductor is
expanded evenly. Pull the back part of the connector with force to check if it is
connected firmly with the cable. If any requirement cannot be met, redo the
above steps.
9. Connect the front part with the back part, as shown in Fig. 8.6-6.

they are connected firmly.
