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.
