How To Use
After adjusting strip and gauge stops, insert a wire between the
Blades and press the heat button. When the blades sever the insulation,
rotate1/4 turn as you continue to apply heat. Once the insulation is
severed around the wire, release the heat and pull off the insulation
sleeve. In order to prolong blade life and insure the blades do not
contact the conductor, the completely severed insulation sleeve may be
pulled from the wire with your fingers. The temperature controller should be adjusted to the lowest temperature possible which produces a clean strip.
Strip And Gauge Stops
For consistent wire stripping, STRIPALL® models TWC-1 and TWC-2 feature both a strip stop and a gauge stop. Both stops slide snugly on the electrodes. Position the strip stop according to the length of insulation you wish removed. By setting the gauge stop properly, the blades will never touch the conductor, insuring nick-free wire stripping.
Blade Selection
Our recently improved blades insure the best performance possible from your STRIPALL® . We manufacture two types of blades, notched and blank. The notched blades perform best on wires 25 gauge and larger diameters. The blank blades are designed for stripping extremely fine wires, 26 gauge and smaller.
Blade Maintenance
If one or both blades do not heat properly, check blade mounting screws for tightness. Any insulation residue build-up can be removed by applying full heat to the blades or cleaning with a soft wire brush. In extreme cases, remove the blades and burnish the ends of the electrodes prior to reinstallation. When replacing blades, make sure the electrodes are clean. Blades must be correctly adjusted surface-to-surface and notch-to-notch.
