3. Safety Information

Observe the following safety guidelines when handling and installing cable ties:

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses, when cutting or installing cable ties.
• Ensure the cable tie is correctly sized for the bundle to avoid over-tightening or insufficient securing.
• Avoid using damaged or compromised cable ties.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Dispose of cut-off sections responsibly to prevent injury.

4. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps for proper installation of the Burndy CT50200SSBB cable tie:

1. Prepare the Bundle: Gather the cables, wires, or items to be secured into a neat bundle. Ensure there are no sharp edges that could damage the cable tie.
2. Wrap the Tie: Pass the tail end of the cable tie around the bundle.
3. Insert the Tail: Insert the tail end through the head of the cable tie.
4. Tighten: Pull the tail end firmly to tighten the cable tie around the bundle. Apply sufficient tension to secure the bundle without crushing or damaging the contents. A cable tie tool can be used for consistent tensioning and flush cutting.
5. Cut Excess: Once tightened, use a cable tie cutting tool or sharp pliers to trim the excess tail flush with the head of the tie. This prevents sharp edges and ensures a clean finish.

Note: For optimal performance and safety, avoid over-tightening, which can damage the secured items, or under-tightening, which may result in an insecure bundle.

5. Operating Instructions

The Burndy CT50200SSBB cable tie is designed for single-use applications. Once tightened and cut, it provides a permanent securement. It does not feature a release mechanism for re-opening.

6. Maintenance

Nylon cable ties generally require no maintenance after installation. However, periodic inspection of installed ties is recommended, especially in environments subject to vibration, extreme temperatures, or chemical exposure. Replace any ties that show signs of degradation, cracking, or loosening to maintain secure bundling.

7. Troubleshooting

• Tie Does Not Hold: Ensure the tail is fully inserted into the head and pulled tight. If the tie slips, it may be damaged or improperly installed. Replace with a new tie.
• Tie Breaks During Tightening: This may indicate over-tightening or a faulty tie. Ensure you are using the correct size tie for the application and avoid excessive force.
• Bundle Not Secure: The tie may be too loose or the wrong size for the bundle. Re-evaluate the bundle size and select an appropriate cable tie.
