Instructions

  1. Small 108243 2f2015 03 28 142201 20150316 134858

    Hold the wire from an end, do not cut it from the bundle. Use the looping pliers to bend the wire as shown in the picture.

  2. Small 108243 2f2015 03 28 142205 20150316 134936

    Similarly bend the other side of the wire to create an 'S' pattern.

  3. Small 108243 2f2015 03 28 142217 20150316 135005

    Use the flat nose pliers to bend the half of the bent part to 90 degrees or so.

  4. Small 108243 2f2015 03 28 142220 20150316 135021

    This is how it looks like after bending the half of the bent part.

  5. Small 108243 2f2015 03 28 142226 20150316 135059

    Now press the bent part towards the middle wire and join them together.

  6. Small 108243 2f2015 03 28 142231 20150316 135208

    Similarly bend and cut off the other side of the wire. Cut off extra wire to make it shorter than the middle wire.
