Perfect Burn Rope Preparation Instructions
(Kernmantle Rope):
Step 1) With Perfect Burn Kit, P/N 2000-1, properly installed onto the
soldering iron turn the soldering on.
Note: Since the Perfect Burn Kit is adaptable to many
different soldering irons the power switch may be in a
different location or different type of switch. Additional some
solder irons do not have temperature control. If your solder
iron does not have temperature control i.e. the Milwaukee
cordless solder iron Cat-No. 2488-20, you will need to let it
heat up, this specific soldering iron takes 90 sec. to come to
temperature.
WARNING: Once the soldering iron is
turned on the tip will be hot. Ensure tip does
not come into contact with skin or other
objects as severe burns can occur or a fire to
break out.

Step 2) While Perfect Burn Kit, P/N 2000-1, is heating up prepare rope
end for coning. Prepare rope end for coning by applying a piece
of tape around the rope end.
Step 3) Make a clean fresh cut to ensure the rope fibers are not frayed.

Step 4) With the Perfect Burn Kit, P/N 2000-1, heated up and the tape
still on the rope end, press the perfect burn rope burner head
onto the end of the rope. Hold for approximately 10-20 sec. and
remove.
Step 5) Set the soldering iron aside, ensuring the tip does not come into
contact with anything, and take a rag and wipe/pull over the rope.
This should pull the tape off. If the tape does not come off during
this first wipe then manually remove.
WARNING: Once the soldering iron is
turned on the tip will be hot. Ensure tip does
not come into contact with skin or other
objects as severe burns can occur or a fire to
break out.

Step 6) Reapply the Perfect Burn Tip to rope end and hold for 10 –20
sec.
Step 7) Set the soldering iron aside, ensuring the tip does not come into
contact with anything, and take a rag and wipe/pull over the rope
shaping the rope tip into a cone.
WARNING: Once the soldering iron is
turned on the tip will be hot. Ensure tip does
not come into contact with skin or other
objects as severe burns can occur or a fire to
break out.

Step 8) If required repeat steps 6 and 7 as required to obtain a fully coned
end where the outer sheath is wrapped completely over the inner
core sealing it. Once the tip process is completed turn off your
soldering iron.
Note: The perfect burn tip can be rotated around to drag
melted outer sheath around sealing the inner core.
WARNING:Once the soldering iron is turned off
the tip will be hot. Ensure tip does not come into
contact with skin or other objects as severe burns
can occur or a fire to break out. Some solder irons
have temperature sensing tips i.e. the Milwaukee
cordless solder iron Cat-No. 2488-20, has a red
light that will distinguish once the temp has cooled
to an acceptable temperature to touch. If your
soldering iron does not have a temperature sensor
or indicator give ample time to cool prior to
touching or coming into contact with anything as it
could cause serve burns or cause a fire.
