the plunger pin to click into place. On cables
with "L" connectors, twist the cables until the
plunger pin pops out.
3. Push the cable section and cutter into the pipe.
If first cable goes easily, push several sections
into the pipe until resistance is met.

4. On machines using the "G" cables, you can
connect the male connector of the cable to the
machine by twisting the knurled ring on the
Cable Drive Coupler until the plunger pin clicks
into place. On machines using "L" cables, twist
the cable until the plunger pin springs out.
