OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STANDARD USE
The main function of the 50611 Magnetic Wire Puller is for pulling wires and/or cables within wall cavities. The 50611 Magnetic Wire Puller will work in walls both with and without insulation.
- Tie off wire(s) or cable(s) to be ran behind the wall to the Eye-loop Tip, using a polyester pull string if needed.
- Drill a Ø7/8" hole in wall top plate, or other wire feed location, for the leader unit to be inserted into. It is important to drill in the center of the wall cavity, and nearest to the drywall as possible (FIG. B).

- If pulling wires in a wall with insulation, it is important to get the Leader Unit in between the insulation and drywall.
- With the Leader Unit in the wall cavity, use the Handheld Unit's Magnetic Base to locate the Leader Unit through the drywall. The Handheld Unit and Leader Unit will magnetically attach through the wall (FIG. C).
![Klein Tools - 50611 - STANDARD USE - Step 2 STANDARD USE - Step 2]()
- With the two units magnetically connected, slowly pull the Handheld Unit towards the wall cutout location, while also using light force to push the Handheld Unit against the wall.
- When approaching the wall cutout, carefully pull the Handheld Unit until the Leader Unit pulls through the cutout and attaches to the Handheld Unit. Slowly pull the Leader Unit and wire(s)/cable(s) through the wall cutout (FIG. D).

ADDITIONAL USES
- The 50611 Magnetic Wire Puller can also be used in other wire and cable pulling applications. These may include, but not be limited to, pulling across ceilings, raised floors, under carpet, etc.
- The 50611 Magnetic Wire Puller also works as a stud finder, for both metal and wood studs. For this use, roll the Handheld Unit slowly across a wall until it magnetically attaches to a metal stud, or a nail in a wood stud. Then, align the Handheld unit vertically or horizontally and, using a pencil, use one of the four V-notches in the Magnetic Base to mark the center of stud (FIG. E).
