Key specifications

How to use

Position the cable between the stripper's jaws so the blade aligns with the insulation section to be removed. Squeeze the handles gently to engage the blade, rotate or pull the tool as appropriate to cut through the insulation without nicking the conductor, then remove the stripped insulation. Adjust hand pressure and angle as needed to match insulation thickness. Inspect the conductor after stripping to confirm there is no damage.

Recommendations

Use the cable stripper on cables within the specified 5 mm diameter limit to ensure clean stripping and avoid tool damage. Maintain a firm but controlled grip and replace the blade or service the tool if cutting performance declines. Keep the tool clean and store it in a dry place to prolong service life.
