Product Overview
The US02-7100 Semi-con Shaving Tool is used to shave
bonded semi-con from medium and high voltage power
cable. The cable size range is 55mm to 80mm (2.17 - 3.15")
diameter over the semi-con screen with semi-con thickness
up to 2.4mm (.095") thick. The tool will produce a micro
finish surface on the shaved insulation and produce a
beveled edge at the transition point.
Operating Instructions
1. Retract the blade to its highest position by turning the
gold blade adjusting knob counterclockwise.
2. Open the tool and locate the cable end approximately 2-
3mm left of the taper transition on the blade as shown in
Figure 1a and 1b. Secure the cable in the tool.
3. Turn the blade adjusting knob clockwise until the blade touches the semi-con screen.
4. Set the feed lever at #1 stripping position (Fig. 2). #1 is a conservative feed.
5. Rotate the tool on the cable. As the tool advances on the cable, observe the semi-con
chip and re-adjust the blade depth for a minimal thickness of insulation removal and an
optimal shaving result.
