4.9 Terminal Block Wire Installation and Removal
Proceed with the following steps and associated figures to install
or remove terminal block wiring.
Step 1: Figure 27 shows two tension clamp terminal blocks.
There is a large one and small one, but the operation is
the same for both. A small tool, such as a screwdriver,
will be pushed into the square hole next to the wire hole
and a wire will be inserted into the larger circular hole on
the outer edge.

Step 2: Begin by inserting a small, flathead screwdriver into the
square (tool) hole with the flat surface of the screwdriver
against the back wall of the hole. With a little bit of
force, push the screwdriver in on a slight angle toward
the center of the clamp. Be sure to slide it in until it
clicks. You will then see the clamp open in the wire hole.

Step 3: Once the screwdriver is in place, obtain a stripped wire
(strip about 1/4 in.) and insert it into the larger circular
wire hole. Push the wire in until it can go no further.
