7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your wire stripping machine.
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect power and clean the machine, especially the stripping channels and blades, to remove any wire debris or insulation residue. Use a brush or compressed air.
