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:

Step-by-step wire stripping process — **Figure 5:** Visual guide for the wire stripping process. This image illustrates the four main steps: adjusting the blade, releasing the safety guard, powering on, and feeding the wire.

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.

Wire compatibility chart — **Figure 6:** Diagram illustrating the wide range of wire types compatible with the machine, including copper, multi-conductor, electrical, stranded, and automotive wires, all within the 0.06" to 0.9" (1.5-23 mm) 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.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Machine does not power on.	Power cord not plugged in. No power from outlet. Power switch is off.	Ensure power cord is securely plugged into a grounded 110V outlet. Check the circuit breaker or try a different outlet. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
Wire is not stripping cleanly or is being cut.	Incorrect blade height adjustment. Dull or damaged blade. Wire not centered in feed hole.	Adjust the blade height knob. The blade should score the insulation without cutting the conductor. Inspect the blade and replace if dull or damaged. Ensure the wire is properly aligned with the V-shaped groove.
Wire is not feeding through the machine.	Blade height too low, jamming the wire. Rollers are dirty or worn. Wire diameter is outside the machine's range.	Raise the blade slightly using the adjustment knob. Clean the rollers. If worn, contact support for replacement parts. Verify the wire diameter is between 0.06" and 0.9" (1.5-23 mm).
Excessive noise or vibration during operation.	Machine not securely mounted. Internal component issue.	Ensure the machine is firmly bolted to a stable surface. If noise persists, discontinue use and contact CREWORKS customer support.
