WARNING:
• Do not use the nVent PYROTENAX Power Stripper Tool with
any non-compatible strippers. Use only nVent PYROTENAX
power stripper tool head, cable head adapter bushings,
and power tool guide bushings. Use of non-approved parts
presents a significant risk of personal injury and/or death.
• Do not use the Power Stripper Tool with any cable other than
approved nVent PYROTENAX MI cable with correct head.
IMPORTANT:
• To prevent moisture from entering the cable and to maintain the high performance of MI cable, the cable ends must be sealed as soon as the cable has been cut to length and the sheath removed as the
magnesium oxide insulation will absorb moisture, lowering the insulation resistance.
• Do not use the Power Stripper Tool head to straighten the cable.
