Cable Stripping




Cable Stripping

Proper wire stripping and connector replacement is essential to ensure the integrity of the electrical connection. Always follow specific instructions in the Electrical Repair Kit IV instruction manual.

The length of wire to be stripped is determined by the wire gauge.

Wire cross-Section size Stripped length:
sq.mm mm
0.35...0.50 4.0
0.75...1.00 4.5
1.00...2.50 5.0




Proper use of the wire stripping tool will provide consistently positive results. Insert the wire (1) into the stripper. Stop the wire when the required strip length is past the cutter (2). Squeeze the handle of the tool.






When the top jaw of the tool touches the wire (3) the mechanism shifts the clamping action to a pulling action which strips the wire of the insulation (4).
