4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Wire Compatibility
This machine is designed to strip various types of wires, including copper wire, hardcover wire, electric wire, and feeder lines, with diameters ranging from 1.5 mm (0.06 inches) to 38 mm (1.5 inches).
Figure 3: Wire Types and Compatibility. This image illustrates the various types of wires the machine can process, including copper, hardcover, electric, and feeder lines.
4.2 Adjusting Blades and Rollers
The machine features adjustable blades and rollers to accommodate different wire sizes. Proper adjustment is crucial for effective stripping and to prevent damage to the wire or machine.
- Identify the appropriate feed hole for your wire diameter. The machine has 8 round channels and 2 flat slots.
- Use the blade adjusting handle (refer to Figure 4) to raise or lower the blade assembly.
- Adjust the blade so it scores the insulation without cutting into the copper conductor. Test with a small piece of wire and fine-tune as needed.

4.3 Stripping Process
- Ensure the machine is properly adjusted for your wire size.
- Turn on the machine using the one-key switch (refer to Figure 5).
- Carefully feed the end of the wire into the chosen feed slot. The machine will automatically pull the wire through and strip the insulation.
- Collect the stripped wire and insulation.
- In case of a wire jam or any emergency, immediately press the red emergency stop button.
