1. Objective:
To have knowledge and experience on how to Jointing and Splicing a Electrical Wire Gauge.
To know the importance on why do we have to Splice an electrical wire gauge.
2. Materials Used:
Electrical Wire Gauge 14
3. Equipment Used:
Long Nose Plier and Cutter
How to Use:
1. Find the right long-nose pliers. -Long-nose pliers come in different sizes and shapes. Buy quality long-nose pliers that fit your hand and that are suited to the work you'll be doing. The grip varies, as does the length for pliers. Long-nose pliers are commonly 5, 6 or 8 inches long. Decide if rubber-coated handles and serrated teeth are needed for the type of job you'll be working on.
2. Open pliers carefully. -Use caution when opening long-nose pliers. It's possible to open the pliers too far and get the jaws out of alignment.
3. Get into small areas with long-nose pliers. -These pliers can be thought of as an extension of your hand. The long nose offers an extended reach and allows work in tight spots that your fingers or hands can't reach. Use the tip of the nose to grip items.
4. Bend or shape wire with long-nose pliers. -Wire can be bent with long-nose pliers by placing the wire inside the teeth and grasping the wire with your other hand. The pliers act as a vise to hold the wire in one spot while you bend the wire with the other hand. Use the tip of the pliers to shape wire into intricate bends.
5. Cut wire with long-nose pliers. -Most long-nose pliers come with a cutter that is located under the nose and above the handle. Place wire inside the cutter and close
