Steps to Use the Wire Stripper
Determine the Wire Gauge: The first and obvious step is to identify the wire gauge that is needed to be stripped. This can be identified through the print on insulation. The gauge will be represented as a number and while doing this, also be careful to notice whether the wire is stripped or stranded.
Match Wire to The Tool: Next step is to match the wire gauge to the hole in the cable stripper. This is an essential step because if they are mismatched and the hole turns bigger than the gauge, it won’t be entirely cut and will get difficult to strip. Similarly, if the hole is smaller than the wire gauge, the wire may get nicked.
Set the wire: This is a simple step of putting the wire in the blade side of the right hole. Then keep pressing through the handles, and it will eventually cut through the insulation on the wire.
Get Rid of Insulation: The last step is to remove the insulation on the wire using a slug remover.
