4. Setup

The ORFOFE Cable Puller Tool requires minimal setup. Ensure the work area is clear and safe before proceeding.

1. Inspect the Tool: Before each use, visually inspect the cable puller for any damage or loose parts. Ensure the gripping mechanisms are clean and free of debris.
2. Prepare Wires: Straighten the wires to be pulled as much as possible. If necessary, tape the ends of multiple wires together to create a smooth leading edge for easier passage.
3. Access Point: Identify the entry and exit points for the wires. The tool is designed to assist in guiding wires through these points.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective wire threading using the ORFOFE Cable Puller Tool.

1. Position the Tool: Place the cable puller tool near the opening of the electrical box or conduit where the wires need to be guided. The pointed ends of the tool are designed to engage with the opening.
2. Engage the Grippers: The tool features adjustable grippers. Position the wires between these grippers. The tool's design allows for a secure hold on the wires, facilitating controlled pulling.
3. Guide the Wires: Gently push or pull the wires using the tool. The tool's structure helps maintain alignment and prevents wires from snagging or getting tangled within the conduit or box.
4. Adjust as Needed: For longer runs or complex bends, you may need to adjust the tool's position or the wire's tension. The tool is designed for solo operation, reducing the need for additional assistance.
5. Complete the Pull: Continue guiding the wires until they emerge from the desired exit point. Once the wires are through, disengage the tool.
