How to use

Position the cable within the tool following the diameter adjustment for the target 6–20 mm range, secure the cable, and rotate or operate the stripper as indicated by the tool design to cut and remove the outer jacket. Adjust the stripping depth and position before applying force to ensure only the jacket is removed. Work steadily and inspect the conductor after stripping to confirm insulation or conductor strands are undamaged. Clean the tool and check cutting edges regularly to maintain reliable performance.

Recommendations

Use the tool only on round cables within the specified diameter range, and verify settings on scrap pieces if uncertain. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, follow local electrical safety rules, and replace or service the tool if cutting edges become dull or alignment changes to ensure consistent stripping quality.
