3. Turn the blade adjusting knob clockwise until the blade touches the semi-con screen.
4. Set the feed lever at #1 stripping position (Fig. 2). #1 is a conservative feed.
5. Rotate the tool on the cable. As the tool advances on the cable, observe the semi-con
chip and re-adjust the blade depth for a minimal thickness of insulation removal and an
optimal shaving result.

Product Overview
The US02-7100 Semi-con Shaving Tool is used to shave
bonded semi-con from medium and high voltage power
cable. The cable size range is 55mm to 80mm (2.17 - 3.15”)
diameter over the semi-con screen with semi-con thickness
up to 2.4mm (.095”) thick. The tool will produce a micro
finish surface on the shaved insulation and produce a
beveled edge at the transition point.
ŸBlade form provides a superior finish on shaved insulation
ŸPrecision blade depth adjustment with 0.1 mm (.004”) depth increments
ŸTwo feed positions to optimize tool performance
ŸStop position ends the shave operation squarely and cleanly
Ÿ12 degree chamfer at semi-con end
ŸMultiple contact bearings provide stable cable support
ŸEach tool supplied in molded protective carrying case
1. Retract the blade to its highest position by turning the
gold blade adjusting knob counterclockwise.
2. Open the tool and locate the cable end approximately 2-
3mm left of the taper transition on the blade as shown in

6. The feed lever has four indexed feed positions. It can be
indexed diagonally toward the #2 for a more aggressive
feed or fully at the #2 for the fastest feed. The feed can be
slowed down by indexing the lever diagonally toward the
Stop position.
7. Observe the shaved semi-con strip during operation.
During the shaving process, do not allow the strip to get
caught under the cable rollers. This will disturb the shaving
result. A convenient technique is to loop the shaved semi-
con strip through the winding loop on the tool and tie it off
at the end of the cable. Note the direction and placement
in Fig.3
8. After shaving to the desired length, move the feed lever
to the stop position (Fig.4). Make one full turn to finish the
shaving. Carefully remove the tool from the cable.
