  13. VERY IMPORTANT STEP, to avoid forgetting to insert the cover, (It has happened to all of us, not once, but more than once, it will be the first thing we insert).
  14. We take the measurement of the piece of white hose to peel or strip, more or less about 2 cm, note that from one manufacturer of bases on plugs to another this measurement can vary.

  16. With the scissors, CAREFULLY APPLYING ONLY LIGHT PRESSURE and turning in a circle, we will mark the stopping point to which it must be drawn.
  17. To peel the cover carefully, we can do it with scissors.

  21. We remove the white rubber cover, separate the wires, and without excessive pressure with the scissors, just marking the plastic, we proceed to strip it.
