It is a reference for the preparation for soldering a stranded wire so you get a good joint. You twist the strands together, heat the wire with a soldering iron or gun and then apply a small amount of solder on the tip of the wire and it melts into the strands. Then you can solder the wire to another like wire or to a terminal or whatever. You basically reheat the wire to make connection and can add more solder as needed.
Additional informationTinning is also useful if the wire is to be put in a "screw lug".The term "tinning" comes from the fact that older solder contains lead and tin. Some of the newer solder is supposed to be lead free.

What is tinning the iron?
Tinning the Soldering iron is when the hot iron is coated with solder to aid in soldering and heat transfer
Why stranded wires are twisted?
Stranded conductors are made up of many smaller solid conductors. In order to bunch the solid conductors to make the stranded wire they have to be held together. The simplest way of doing this is to twist them together. Once the solid wires are twisted together they are drawn through a machine that applies the insulation coating which holds the solid wires together. The final result is a insulated stranded conductor that has good flexibility. With this flexibility multiple stranded conductors can be easily be drawn through conduit systems that incorporate up to four 90 degree bends between junction boxes.

galvanising :)
What is inside wires?
A sometimes solid sometimes stranded copper wire is inside of the outer insulation. Spark plug wires have a string of carbon inside the insulation.
What is meant by over head lines?
The electric wires which come to your house through the tall poles which stand on road side. These wires are called overheadcables
