Before you attach a Head and Battery Unit Tool Tag to a tool, you must cut the wire to the correct length, depending on your particular requirements.

To prepare the tag, cut the wire to the appropriate length:

  1. Determine the required length of the wire. Ensure that you allow sufficient length to properly terminate and strain-relieve the wires. Cut the wire to the appropriate length, as shown in the following figure. Discard the plug.
