To operate, wrap the toothed side of the tie around the object, insert the tail into the locking head, and pull tight; a "click" sound indicates that the tie is securely locked. Select a tie size appropriate for the cable diameter to avoid damage to the insulation layer caused by excessive tightness or a failure to secure the cable due to looseness. The direction of the tie should align with the cable's curvature to minimize stress concentration. After installation, verify that the teeth are fully engaged to ensure a secure lock. Avoid over-stretching, which can damage the teeth, and do not reuse ties, as this reduces locking strength.
For maintenance, if a single-use tie must be removed, use a dedicated cutting tool rather than brute force, which could damage the cable. For reusable ties, utilize the locking mechanism on the head: bend the tail and insert it between the buckle and the tie body, then pull backward to release the tie without damage, allowing for reuse.
