1. Preface / Safety guidelines
These Operating Instructions are intended to help you learn about the
special-purpose insulation stripper and use it correctly for its intended
purpose.
These Operating Instructions contain important information about the safe
and efcient operation of the tool. By following these instructions, you can
avoid risks and dangers, reduce downtime and repair costs, and extend
the service ife of the equipment. This special-purpose insulation stripper
features state-of-the-art technology and complies with recognised safety
regulations. It must be used only when in perfect working order and when
due care is given to hazards and operator safety.
The insulation stripper must be used only
for the purpose described in the Operating

2. Intended use
The special-purpose insulation stripper enables high-qua ity, non-
destructive stripping and desheathing for all electrical single- and multi-
core cables with a 0.03–16 mm² cross-section (AWG 32 - 6). The tool can
be used for hybrid leads with diameters of up to 10 mm and Teon cables
with a 2 mm² or lower cross-section. Use of the tool does not depend
on the strength of the insulating material. Special blades ensure that the
insulation stripper can be used for system handling work (hybrid exterior
sheath and interior insulation, ribbon cables, etc.).
