3.2 Components

- Motor Housing: Contains the 180W motor.
- Adjustable Feed Hole Plate: Mechanism for adjusting the wire entry point and blade depth.
- Blade Adjustment Knob: Used to raise or lower the cutting blade.
- Safety Guard: Protects the user from the cutting blade.
- Power Switch: On/Off control for the machine.
- V-shaped Grooved Roller: Guides the wire through the stripping mechanism.
- Reinforced Aluminum Frame: Provides structural integrity.



4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the wire stripper from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
- Placement: Position the machine on a sturdy, level workbench or surface. The machine weighs approximately 17.16 lbs (7.8 kg), so ensure the surface can support it.
- Securing the Machine: For optimal stability and safety, it is recommended to bolt the machine to your workbench using appropriate fasteners (not included). The base of the machine has pre-drilled holes for this purpose.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to a standard 110V AC grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch on the machine is in the "OFF" position before plugging it in.
- Initial Blade Adjustment: Before first use, familiarize yourself with the blade adjustment knob. Rotate the knob to raise or lower the blade. For initial setup, ensure the blade is slightly above the wire path.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective wire stripping:

- Adjust Blade Height: Rotate the blade adjustment knob (located on top) to set the desired blade height. The blade should score the insulation without cutting into the copper conductor. Start with a shallower cut and adjust deeper if necessary.
- Release Safety Guard: Loosen the locking knob on the safety guard and move it to an open position to allow wire insertion. Ensure it is securely locked back in place once the wire is positioned.
- Power On: Turn on the machine using the power switch. The motor will start, and the rollers will begin to rotate.
- Feed Wire: Carefully insert the end of the wire into the adjustable feed hole. The V-shaped grooved roller will grip the wire and pull it through the machine. Guide the wire steadily.
- Collect Stripped Wire: The stripped insulation will separate from the copper conductor as the wire passes through. Collect the stripped copper wire from the rear outlet.
- Power Off: Once stripping is complete, turn off the machine using the power switch.
The machine is compatible with various wire types, including copper wires, multi-conductor wires, electrical wires, stranded wires, and automotive wires, within the specified diameter range.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your wire stripper. Always disconnect the machine from the power source before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean any accumulated insulation debris from the blade area, rollers, and feed hole using a brush or compressed air. Do not use water or solvents directly on electrical components.
- Blade Inspection: Periodically inspect the CrMoV12 steel blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or chipped blade can lead to inefficient stripping or damage to the wire. Replace the blade if necessary.
- Roller Inspection: Check the V-shaped grooved rollers for wear or damage. Ensure they rotate freely and provide adequate grip.
- Lubrication: Refer to the product's specific lubrication requirements. While the manual does not specify, general practice for geared machinery suggests occasional lubrication of moving parts (excluding electrical components) with appropriate grease or oil.
- Storage: Store the machine in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
