ALWAYS wear cut resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut
resistant).
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear.
ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable (DO NOT use a bladed knife).
To use the rotary blade tool, fit it around the outer cable sheaf and rotate the cutter
around the cable once or twice. The stripped outer section can then be removed.
