So, in today's scenario we're going to be showing the tension rod system. We are using some 3.2mm 1 x19 ProRig wire and all your components needed to be able to complete the system. Each component has to go on to the wire before it is swaged. They need to go on in a particular order too.
For the finishing top end its pretty simple. Feed the finishing stop on first with the end that threads into the post facing the cut end of the wire. Now push the swage terminal onto the wire. Ensure your wire is cut nice and clean otherwise you might have trouble getting the swage terminal on. Now grab your HX-50 and place on a nice sturdy platform.
Make sure that it sets the correct settings which is level 6 for this 3.2mm wire size. You want to start your swage at the end towards where the wire is sticking out. Close up the HX-50 to put in the first press, move along the swage to the middle and put in your second press, move the tool along the swage sleeve to the end and put in the 3rd and final press. Now for the other end of the wire. First thread on the finishing cap, then the tension rod. Ensure that this is fed onto the wire so that the flat section will still be visible once its screwed in.
Later you’ll use this flat section to tighten the rod with soft jaw pliers. Now that you have double checked you've got everything going the correct way go ahead grab the next swage terminal put it on the end of the wire and repeat the 3 press swages. Now your wire is completed, and you can now thread this into your post system.
