Before connecting wires, ensure they are properly prepared according to the following steps:
- Ge asopọ agbara: Turn off the power supply to the circuit you are working on. Verify with a voltage idanwo.
- Gbigbọn okun waya: Carefully strip the insulation from the end of each wire. The recommended strip length is 11 mm (0.43 inches). Use a wire stripper to avoid damaging the conductor.
- Ṣayẹwo Awọn okun: Ensure the stripped wire ends are clean, straight, and free from frayed strands.

Follow these steps to make a secure electrical connection using WAGO 221 Splicing Connectors:
- Open Lever: For each wire entry port you intend to use, lift the orange operating lever to its fully open (vertical) position.
- Fi Waya sii: Insert the stripped end of the prepared wire completely into the open port. Ensure no bare conductor is visible outside the connector and that the insulation reaches the internal stop.
- Close Lever: Push the orange operating lever down firmly until it clicks into its closed (horizontal) position. This secures the wire connection.
- Jẹrisi Asopọmọra: Gently tug on the wire to confirm it is securely held by the connector. The transparent housing allows for visual inspection of the connection.
- Tun: Repeat steps 1-4 for all other wires you wish to connect to the splicing connector.

WAGO 221 Splicing Connectors are designed for maintenance-free operation once installed correctly. However, consider the following for optimal performance and longevity:
- Ibi ipamọ: Store unused connectors in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ayewo: Periodically inspect installed connectors for any signs of damage, discoloration, or loose connections, especially in high-vibration or high-temperature environments.
- Ninu: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

| Wire does not insert fully. | Lever not fully open; wire end is bent or frayed; insulation not stripped to correct length. | Ensure lever is vertical; straighten or re-strip wire to 11 mm (0.43 in). |
| Lever does not close securely. | Wire not fully inserted; incorrect wire gauge. | Push wire in further until it hits the stop; verify wire is within 12-24 AWG range. |
| Loose connection after installation. | Lever not fully closed; wire not stripped correctly; damaged connector. | Ensure lever is horizontal and clicked; re-strip and re-insert wire; replace connector if damaged. |
