5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective wire stripping and cutting:
5.1 Wire Stripping
- Prepare the wire: Ensure the wire to be stripped is clean and free from kinks.
- Set stripping length: Adjust the length stop to the desired stripping depth (6-15 mm).
- Insert wire: Place the end of the wire into the stripping jaws, ensuring it rests against the length stop. The tool automatically adjusts to wire cross-sections from 0.2 mm² to 6 mm².
- Squeeze handles: Firmly squeeze the handles together. The jaws will grip the insulation, cut it, and pull it away from the conductor.
- Release: Release the handles to open the jaws and remove the stripped wire.

5.2 Wire Cutting
The tool includes an integrated wire cutter for wires up to 2.5 mm².
- Position wire: Place the wire to be cut into the designated cutting slot.
- Squeeze handles: Firmly squeeze the handles together to cut the wire.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your JOKARI wire stripper.
6.1 Cleaning
- After each use, remove any insulation debris or wire fragments from the stripping jaws and cutter.
- Use a dry cloth or soft brush for cleaning. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
6.2 Blade Replacement
The stripping blade may wear over time, especially with frequent use. The blade can be replaced with a genuine JOKARI spare part. Refer to the official JOKARI website for detailed instructions on blade replacement.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your wire stripper, consider the following:
- Inconsistent stripping: Ensure the wire is inserted correctly and fully against the length stop. Check the blades for wear or damage.
- Difficulty with very small wires (e.g., 0.2 mm²): For extremely fine wires, ensure the wire is properly seated in the jaws. Sometimes, a slight adjustment in angle or a second attempt may be needed to 'hook' the insulation effectively.
- Tool feels 'sluggish' or performance decreases: This may indicate wear on the internal mechanism or blades. Consider cleaning the tool thoroughly or replacing the stripping blade. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Wire not cutting cleanly: The integrated cutter is designed for wires up to 2.5 mm². Attempting to cut thicker wires may result in an incomplete cut or damage to the blade. Ensure the wire is within the specified cutting capacity.
