Application: | Slits and Rings Round Cables |
Capacity: | 1.75" |
Note: | TO STRIP Adjust the blade height by spinning the knurled silver knob. Visible blade height should be equal to the thickness of the outer jacket that is going to be stripped. If thickness is unknown, start with a lower blade setting and gradually raise the blade as necessary. It is generally better to strip too shallow into the outer jacket than to go too deep through the outer jacket as internal conductors may be damaged. ●Holding the tool in your hand, and using your thumb, push up on the angled portion of the metal retainer, allowing a cable to be inserted on top of the blade. ●Position the cable in the stripping chamber in the location where the stripping should begin. Release the retainer so it is firm and snug against the cable. Begin rotating the tool around the cable several times until the jacket is cut. Rotate as few times as possible to prevent damage to inner conductors. If blade strips too deep, lower the blade (less blade exposed) and strip a new section of cable. Press up on the retainer again and remove the cable from the tool. Slide the cut portion of outer jacket off of the cable. <br /><br /> TO SLIT Adjust the blade height by spinning the knurled silver knob.
