RS 193-966 User manual

Stripping tool
1. Setting the coaxial cable stripper (for RG58/59 cable see
point 3).
a. Lift the screw holder (A) and swing back, see figure 2.
b. Insert the cutter cassette (B) into the tool and close the
screw holder, see figure 2.
c. Ensure that all cutter blades are fully retracted by turning
the screws anticlockwise, see figure 3.
2. Retract the pressure rollers (C) by use of the cam wheel (D),
see figure 4. Push slide on the base of tool towards
cassette holder, see figure 7.
3. Insert cable into the tool, making sure that the cable does
not touch the cutters. Advance the pressure rollers by
means of the cam wheel until the cable is just touching the
'V' of the cutter cassette, and set the maximum position of
the cam wheel by means of the slide, see figure 7 by moving
it backwards towards the cam wheel. The cable should be
free to rotate showing no signs of friction.
4. Setting the cutting blades.
Always start this operation with setting the deepest cut first,
and only adjust one blade at a time by turning the screws in
a clockwise direction.
To test the setting of the blades, insert index finger through
the opening in the cam wheel and turn the tool several times
around the axis of the cable (holding the cable as shown in
figure 6).
Repeat this action with advanced pressure rollers (figure 5)
until the optimum setting is achieved.
5. To remove the stripped cable, retract the pressure rollers by
using the cam wheel, and remove the stripped pieces of
insulating and braid materials from the cable and check that
all cuts are of the required depth.

When the settings are found to be correct, apply one of the
enclosed stickers under the screws on the screw holder and
mark with the cable type for repeat operations, see figure 8.
6. Additional cassettes and cassette holders are available
separately. This enables different setting to be produced at
will.

ii) 3 step green, RS stock no. 739-578
iii) 3 step brown, RS stock no. 739-584
7. Quick setting of the tool is possible for RG58/59 cable types.
the orange gauge should be clipped onto the screw holder,
see figure 9. The setting screws are then adjusted by
turning clockwise until they butt against the gauge. Remove
the gauge and assemble cassette to the tool. Test and
adjust as according to point 4.
8. For cable diameters smaller than 3.5mm, the 'Y' block
contained in the base of the screw holder should be placed
between the screw pressure rollers as shown in figure 10.
9. Use of the pre-set tool.
a. Set back the pressure rollers by adjusting the cam wheel.
b. Insert the cable, push the cam wheel forward step by step,
to push the cable against the cutters (note that pressure
should not be excessive).
c. Rotate the tool around the axis of the cable several times.
Repeating step (b) until the final position of the cam wheel is
achieved.
d. Retract the cam wheel, remove cable and peel off the
stripped insulation and braiding, and remove any residue
from the body of the tool.
Note: If using the tool on several differing cable sizes and
types, it is recommended that to save time, a selection of
pre-set and identified screw holders are held ready for
use.
Crimp tool
1. Compress the handles and cycle the tool to enable the
release mechanism to operate and allow the jaws to open.
Place the connector into the appropriate die nest and apply
cable to be crimped. Compress handles to make correct
crimp. If the tool appears to be producing an 'incorrect'
crimp, the tool may be released by pushing the release lever
forward, a screwdriver being suitable for this.
2. The tool after a period of time may require adjustment. To
achieve this, remove the securing screw and rotate the
serrated ring in the required direction. Replace securing
screw and test the tool. Repeat adjustment if necessary.
