Stripping The Cable

When cutting cable sections, make them long enough to route from one
tap to the next with sufficient slack so that the bend radius is not less
than:
•
76.2mm (3") for wiring external to enclosures
•
38.1mm (1.5") for wiring inside enclosures
ATTENTION: Make sure to perform the calibration
procedure the first time you use the tool and every time
!
you change the blade for both memory cartridges.
Refer to Appendix B for the proper calibration
procedure.
1. Verify that you have the proper memory blade holder installed for
the type of cable you are using (PVC-CL2 or FEP-CL2P). If you
need to change the memory blade holder, see appendix B.
2. Insert the cable into the cable strip tool's cutting chamber so that
extra cable, approximately 25.4mm (1"), extends beyond the edge
of the tool.
The cutting chamber
houses the center that will
be exposed when the
cable is stripped.
