1. Wire stripper
Intended use of wire strippers
The wire stripper is suitable for cutting and stripping fine-wire, flexible cables made of copper and
aluminum with cross-sections from 0.25 to 6 mm² (AWG 23-10).
Description of wire stripper
The wire stripper has 2 holding jaws and 2 extractor jaws that close automatically when the two pliers
handles are pressed together and move apart. This will automatically isolate the cable. The holding
force of the holding jaws can be adjusted using an adjusting screw. The stop is used to set the length
with repeatable accuracy.
Application
Setting the stripping length:
The stop can be adjusted from 5 mm to 15 mm. Turn the stop
upwards, adjust the stop bracket to the desired position and lock it
again
With a little more effort, the stop can also be adjusted in the locked
state!

pressing process has been completed. The pliers can be opened via a release. If the pliers are under
tension, the release can be opened with a screwdriver as a support.
Application
Strip the cable according to the length of the compression grommet of
the cable lug and twist the copper wires together slightly.
Select a cable lug that matches the cable cross-section and attach it
to the stripped cable end.
Select the crimping recess that matches the cable cross-section
Identification of the jaws
