Same text. Sorry if this is a bore but this paragraph is killing me. I probably wouldn´t understand it if it was originally english. Any electrician out there would really help
El **amarre del cable a la cuerda** o **cable de tiro** se hará en función del tamaño y peso del mismo así como de la forma en que estén **cerrados** sus extremos. Para cables de pequeño y mediano diámetro que no llevan en su extremo **anilla de tiro**, se amarra directamente la **cuerda de arrastre**. Para cables con anilla se intercalará un nudo giratorio para evitar retorcimientos del cable durante el tendido.

It adds one more step to the whole install process - having to use the cords to pull the cable bundles through. One thing to remember if you choose to install pull cords - cable bundle that you will be pulling later on with these pull cords are MUCH thicker than the pull cords. When you are drilling holes for these pull cords make them large enough for the cable bundles. Run the pull cords in straight lines.
