WARNING
Incorrect use of spelter socket resin can result in unsafe termination of cable. This may
result in death or serious injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
Never use a repaired spelter socket until resin has thoroughly cured. Resin will gel in
approximately 15 minutes and be fully cured in 2 hours from mixing.
Never heat socket to accelerate gelling or curing.
Adhesive, solvents, and sealing compounds can burn easily, can give off harmful vapors,
and are harmful to skin and clothing. To avoid injury or death, keep away from open fire
and use in a well-ventilated area. If adhesive, solvent, or sealing compound gets on skin
or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. Failure to comply may result in injury
to personnel.
