(2) Inspect stripped wire ends for nicks or cuts; neither are acceptable.

NOTE

The following general notes apply to all wire-wrap procedures:

A minimum 1/2 turn of insulated wire shall be wrapped around the wire-wrap post.

That portion of a wrap termination that has been removed or unwrapped shall not be used again. If

there is sufficient unused wire, as from service loops, the wire may be re-stripped and a new wrap

termination made. If not, replace the wire.

If it is impossible to remove a wire from a wire-wrap post, it is acceptable to cut the wire at the wire-

wrap post. The clipped end shall not protrude more than 1/ 32-inch.

DO NOT relocate or reposition a wrap. If movement is necessary, cut off old and make a new wire-

wrap.

(3) Select proper bit and sleeve from tool kit.

(4) Position lead to be wrapped so that subsequent routing of wire will not tend to unwrap connection.

(5) Insert stripped wire end into wrapping bit feed slot and anchor lead as shown in figure 3-15.

NOTE

Insert the insulated portion of the wire from 1/16 to 1/8 inch into the wrapping bit feed slot.

(6) Place wire-wrap tool over wire-wrap post.

(7) Holding tool perpendicular to connector, make wire-wrap as follows:

(a) When using power wire-wrap gun, press trigger and allow tool to complete wrap.

NOTE

Do not apply hand pressure to assist the tool.

(b) When using hand wire-wrap tools, apply continuous twisting motion to complete wrap.

NOTE

Do not press down on the tool while twisting.
