Setup

No specific setup is required for the tools themselves. Ensure you have the correct cable type and connectors for your application.

Crimping Tool Adapter Selection

1. Identify the type of connector you are using (F-Type, BNC, or RCA).
2. Select the corresponding adapter from the tool's handle.
3. Insert the chosen adapter into the crimping tool's head. Ensure it is securely seated.

Operating Instructions

1. Cable Stripping (Coaxial Cable)

1. Open the multi-function wire stripper.
2. Insert the coaxial cable into the appropriate stripping hole on the detachable block (e.g., RG59/6 or RG7/11).
3. Adjust the blade depth using the diameter adjustment knob if necessary, ensuring it cuts through the outer jacket without damaging the inner conductor or shield.
4. Rotate the stripper tool around the cable 2-3 times.
5. Remove the tool and pull off the stripped insulation to expose the conductor and shield.

2. Cable Stripping (Network/UTP/STP Cable)

1. For round network cables, use the round cable stripper slot. For flat cables, use the flat cable stripper slot.
2. Insert the cable into the chosen slot.
3. Adjust the blade depth if needed.
4. Rotate the tool or pull the cable through to strip the outer jacket.

3. Cable Crimping (F-Type, BNC, RCA Connectors)

1. After stripping the cable, prepare the connector by sliding it onto the cable according to the connector's specific instructions.
2. Open the crimping tool and ensure the correct adapter for your connector type is installed.
3. Place the connector with the cable into the crimping jaw. Ensure the connector is fully seated and aligned.
4. Squeeze the handles of the crimping tool firmly and completely until the crimping mechanism releases or reaches its full travel. This ensures a secure compression.
5. Release the handles and remove the crimped cable and connector.
6. Inspect the crimp for proper seating and connection.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the tools with a clean, dry cloth to remove any cable debris or residue.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the moving parts and pivot points of the crimping tool to ensure smooth operation.
• Blade Inspection: Regularly check the stripper blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can lead to poor stripping results. Replacement blades are not specified in the product information, but general care is advised.
• Storage: Store the tools in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
