FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Knipex ErgoStrip PV 16 95 03 SB?

Its primary purpose is for precise wire stripping and dismantling of photovoltaic solar cables (4-6 mm diameter) and single conductors (0.2-4 mm²).

Can this tool strip armored cables?

No, this tool is not designed for stripping armored cables. It is intended for non-armored, round solar cables and single conductors.

How do I achieve a clean strip on solar cables?

Insert the cable fully into the designated slot for 4-6 mm round cables. A slight twisting motion can help achieve a clean strip, followed by pulling the insulation off.

What is the stripping range for single conductors?

The tool can strip single conductors with cross-sections ranging from 0.2 mm² to 4 mm².

Is the tool suitable for working in tight spaces?

Yes, the tapered front ends are specifically designed to allow for space-saving dismantling work in confined areas like flush-mounted sockets.

Does the tool have a locking mechanism?

Yes, the tool includes a locking device to keep it securely closed when not in use.

What are the dimensions and weight of the tool?

The tool measures 135 mm in length, 36 mm in depth, and 30 mm in height, with a weight of 65 grams.

Troubleshooting

Tool not stripping cleanly

Ensure the correct cable diameter is selected and fully inserted. Check if the blades are clean and sharp. For thicker cables, a slight twisting motion might be required.

Difficulty inserting cable

Ensure the cable end is trimmed cleanly. Use the opening aid for coax and data cables if needed. Verify that the cable type and diameter are within the tool's specifications.

Handle feels stiff

The tool may require cleaning, especially around the pivot point. Remove any debris and ensure the opening spring is functioning correctly. A small amount of lubricant suitable for tools might help if stiffness persists.

Pros and Cons

  • Precise stripping for photovoltaic solar cables.
  • Ergonomic design for comfortable handling.
  • Compact and tapered front for confined spaces.
  • Integrated markings for consistent results.
  • Multi-functional for different wire types and sizes.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for solar cables, may be less efficient for other cable types.
  • Stripping capacity for single conductors is limited to 4 mm².
  • Not intended for use with armored cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tool requires no setup. It is ready for use out of the box.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for round solar cables (4-6 mm diameter) and single conductors (0.2-4 mm²). It can also be used for dismantling coax and data cables due to its design features.

Care: Keep the blades clean and free from debris. Wipe the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store in a dry place. Periodically check the blades for sharpness and any signs of damage. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
