Does it work on different types of wire insulation?
It is designed for standard wire insulation. Performance may vary on very thick, very thin, or unusually hard insulation types.
What material is the wire stripper made from?
It is manufactured from Nylon reinforced with 30% glass fiber, providing strength and low weight.
Is there a separate wire cutter included?
Yes, the tool features an integral wire cutter capable of cutting wires up to 2.5 mm².
How do I maintain the tool?
Keep it clean and dry. Wipe with a cloth after use and periodically check blades for sharpness. Avoid excessive moisture.
Can I strip very short lengths of insulation, like 2mm?
The minimum adjustable stripping length is 6mm. It is not designed for stripping lengths shorter than this.
Troubleshooting
Wire is not being stripped properly
Ensure the wire gauge is within the 0.2 - 4mm² range. Check that the wire stop is set correctly and that the blades are clean and sharp. Try adjusting the grip pressure slightly.
Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any debris or build-up in the mechanism. Lightly lubricate the pivot points with a suitable light oil. Ensure the wire diameter is not exceeding the automatic adjustment capacity.
Insulation is being nicked or cut too deep
Verify the wire gauge is suitable for the tool. The automatic adjustment might be slightly off for this specific wire type. Ensure you are not applying excessive force and that the wire is correctly seated in the jaws.
Cutter is not cutting cleanly
Ensure the wire being cut is within the 2.5 mm² limit. Check the cutter blades for any damage or dullness. Clean any debris from the cutting edge.
