1/2 Inch Flexo Clean Cut Braided Cable Sleeve-Black-100 Feet

hi i'm steve crane customer care consultant at wire CARICOM today i want to show you how to use a hot knife to produce a clean fray resistant and finish end on most types of braided expandable sleeving a hot knife not only cuts the sleeving quickly and cleanly but it also fuses the ends of the filaments together to prevent the sleeving from fraying or unraveling during installation and use first a couple of words about safety the blade of a hot knife gets very very hot take care not to touch the blade and ensure the unit is a safe distance from flammables always use a hot knife in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling the fumes from the melting material and always wear eye protection in case of splatter after you turn on your hot knife it should only take 30 seconds for it to reach operating temperature if this is the first time you're using it or if the blade is dirty you may see so
