Look out fer them war terminal plars!! 200 80

posted by  someone claiming to be George Downs on  Tue Dec 5 07:57 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Susan was here when I got home for lunch today. Seems that the main

power wire (not the battery cable but the other wire that comes off

the battery with it) on her 240 had lost its terminal where it joins

the rest of the electrical system. So I found a terminal and we were

putting it on the wire, which is pretty big and requires a LOT of

squeeze on the crimping pliers. Unfortunately I had the ball of my

left ring finger in between the stripper section when it slipped off.

Fortunately my hand was pretty cold at the time. No pinching, just a couple cuts and no tissue loss. (Plenty of blood, though!)

May keep my left hand out of dishwater for a couple days.

So when you are doing electrical repairs, especially with the

WRONG hand, watch where your fingers are. Might save you a surprise!
