CARPENTER MODEL 74E 3-IN-1 COAXIAL WIRE STRIPPER
**IMPORTANT**
PLEASE READ ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE
APPLICATION
The Model 74E Coaxial Wire Stripper is designed to strip coax as well as hook-up wire up to .265” (6.7mm) overall O.D.
The Model 74E may be equipped with any combination of interchangeable Single or Twin Blade Face Plate Assemblies.
Coaxial and shielded cable stripping is normally done in three stages by inserting the wire into each blade assembly in
sequence. The sequence may vary depending upon cable construction and strip requirements. Selection of face plate
assemblies, either Single Blade or Twin Blade, is dependent on the coaxial wire to be stripped.
Coaxial stripping normally uses two Twin Blade Face Plate Assemblies for the first two steps. The third step may use a
Single or Twin Blade Face Plate Assembly depending on strip specifications or wire characteristics.
SAFETY GUARDING
THIS EQUIPMENT COMES EQUIPPED WITH LEXAN SAFETY GUARDS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
DEFEAT THE FUNCTION OR PURPOSE OF THESE SAFETY GUARDS. SERIOUS INJURY TO
THE OPERATORS’ EYES, FINGERS OR OTHER BODY PARTS MAY RESULT FROM
ATTEMPTS TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE SAFETY GUARD INSTALLED.
WIRE GUIDE SELECTION
Select a Wire Guide with the smallest inside diameter that slips freely over the outside diameter of the wire to be stripped.

OPERATION
1. Install your spool of material on the Dereeler spool holder between cones. Make sure Axel is secured in the
frame by using the locking pin.
2. Plug cord into proper electrical outlet. Turn machine On/Off at the switch located on the right side of the
cabinet. When the machine is on, the yellow light on top of the cabinet will be lit.
3. To load the machine begin by feeding material through the fixed roller guides on the Dereeler frame and
then between the feed belts. With machine turned on, lift up on the bottom accumulator pulleys, this will
drive the belts forward feeding the material through. Once ample material is fed through the belts, open up
the upper and lower cams that cover the accumulator pulleys, this will allow you to wrap the material around
the pulleys.
