Standard Z87.1.
Use hearing protection, particularly during extended periods of operation of the
Wire Stripper JR.

Operation
The Wire Stripper has a range from 14 AWG to 4/0 AWG wire or cable. This machine was
designed to cut the insulation from cable and wire. Make sure to mount the machine to a
stable working area. In order to work properly, the machine must be mounted
securely on the working area. DO NOT secure your drill; damage to the drill’s shaft
may occur if drill is fastened tightly to working area. It is common for the wire to
move while stripping and the drill needs to be free in order to compensate for
movement.
Ensure the drill’s body is resting on the far side of the stripper, away from your
hands. Resting the drill in this position ensures it cannot lurch forward or in a
circular motion.
TIP: For maximum efficiency, sort your wire into groups or batches of the same size wire to
avoid adjusting your machine.
Follow the steps below to cut the insulation from the cable/wire:
For Small wire and cable:
1. Slide the small wire guide to enable the wire to hit the feed shaft in the
centre V-groove.
2. Place the wire into the feed shaft.
3. Tighten the knob for the Wire Guide on the right side.

4. Lower the blade to touch the insulation/plastic, then remove wire from shaft
and turn knob 2 complete rotations.
5. Tighten drill onto the chuck of the Copper Wire Stripper JR.
6. Pull trigger on battery drill, feed wire through small wire guide. Do not tie or
clamp down on the drill.
CAUTION: Wire will feed through at the speed in which the drill is set. Low
speed is highly recommended.
WARNING: Do not lower the blade too far. This will cause damage to the
blade and shorten the lifespan of your blade. Be sure that you are only cutting
through the insulation.
7. Wire comes out the back of the machine with a cut down the centre of the
wire or cable. Peel or strip the insulation off.
8. Once the machine is set for one size of wire, you can strip that size
continuously without adjusting your machine.
For Larger wire or cable:
1. Slide wire guide down for larger wire.
2. Place the wire into the feed shaft.
3. Tighten the knob on the right side of the wire stripper.
4. Lower the blade to touch the insulation/plastic, then remove wire from shaft
and turn knob 3 complete rotations. (Adjustment is only required when you
put a different size of wire into the machine). This holds the wire/cable in
the centre of the V-groove.
5. Tighten drill onto Copper Wire Stripper JR. chuck.
6. Feed wire through larger wire guide and into the machine.
CAUTION: Wire will feed through very quickly as soon as you turn the drill
on. Low speed is highly recommended.
WARNING: Do not lower the blade too far. This will cause damage to the
blade and shorten the lifespan of your blade. Be sure that you are only cutting
through the insulation.
7. Wire comes out the back of the machine with a cut down the centre of the
wire or cable. Peel or strip the insulation off.
Maintenance
The Wire Stripper JR. has been designed to be low maintenance for your convenience.
To ensure smooth operation of your machine, be sure to conduct the following essential
maintenance weekly:

1. Grease knife sliders weekly.
