Armored cable can be used for both harsh outdoor environments as well as indoor cabling. While armored cable retains many advantages, it also presents some inconveniences for cable connection and grounding. For possible problems during installation, please perform the following steps wisely.

1. Bend the cable: Bend the armored cable about 10 inches from its end and squeeze it by hand until the armored coils separate. If you cannot do this manually, use pliers or other cutting methods.

2. Twist the cable: firmly grasp the armored cable on both sides of the cut and twist it until the separated armored coils pop out and away from the wire. If you can't do it manually, use two pairs of pliers.

3. Cut the exposed coils: Use the side cutter to cut the exposed sheath coils. You may need to grab the coil with the side cutter and work back and forth to open and cut.

4. Cut the cable: If you want to cut a length, slide the sheath back and cut the wire. Otherwise, slide the waste piece off and throw it away.
