5. Using a utility knife, carefully remove any
residual plastic from the center conductor, if
necessary (see Figure 66).
6. Insert the end of the cable into the #2 end of
the ST-400EZ stripping tool (see Figure 67).
Then rotate the tool clockwise around the
cable until the tool turns easily. This removes
the cable jacket from the end of the cable,
exposing the braid and dielectric (see
Figure 68).
7. Using the DBT-02 tool, deburr and chamfer
the center conductor (see Figure 69). Avoid
nicking the aluminum tape covering the
dielectric.
