CABLE DANGER
« on: January 15, 2010, 06:56:38 AM »

     OH boy I was happy to get a new 125' cable for the old sewer machine yesturday.     I also got a new 3 foot leader.    Here is where the trouble started.   It was rapped in a loop and wired together.    I started cutting the wire I thought I was being careful and WAMMM that thing sprung open and cracked me on the forehead so hard I almost cried, almost.      I had and still have a knot on my fore head that is huge.        So be careful with the cable.

I tell you how I always unroll cables; flat on the ground and get ready to jump/pull away on the last cut of the wire ties. They tight loop those for shipping and they are usually under a great deal of tension.

That had to suck though.

Those customers have got to be freaking out!  My sister and I was jumping from picnic table to picnic table...she missed a step.

It was horrible.  She had black eyes for 3 weeks almost.
