	Step 1: Cut the cable so the end of the cable is nice and clean. After adjusting the cable stripper for your cable type (we used RG6) Clip the stripper on the end of the cable as shown below. It it always a good idea to test the stripper on a scrap piece of cable before you start on the installed piece. This will allow you to adjust the blade height as to not cut the ground wire.


	Step 2: Twist the stripper around the wire 2 or 3 times. However depending on how the stripper is setup you may need to spin the stripper more then 3 times. Spin until the core has been reached and the jacket has been cut. Then Remove the 2 pieces of cut insulation and ground wire


	Step3: Peel the ground wires back like pictured here. This will allow the wires to be pushed back when installing the connector. Be sure that all the ground wires are away from the center conductor. This could cause a short later on down the road. Also be sure the ground wires are not cut through and falling apart.

	Step 4: Insert the cable into the connector. Again making sure all the ground wires are pushed back. You will be able to see on the inside of the connector when the dielectric (white section in the picture) is flush with the inside of the connector. This is right where you want it to be. Make sure to twist connector as your putting it on, as this will ensure the ground wires will make contact with the connector

		Step 5: Using the crimp tool (with the correct die) crimp down the connector. Our Ideal Crimp Tool doesn't allow you to over crimp the connector. It has a locking device that forces you to crimp down to a determined level thus insuring a perfect crimp. Other crimp tools may not have this feature.
