How to handle cable twisting?
Updated on 2026/07/20
Tip: Cable curling is common with retractors. This happens because the cord gets twisted during use. Since the retractor always winds in one direction, the torsion cannot be released, eventually causing the cord to bunch up or curl at the end.
If the cable knots and won't retract, pick up the WINBOT and rotate it in the opposite direction of the twist to release tension. Place it back on the station to continue retraction.
