1. INTRODUCTION

Coaxial Cable Stripper Kits 603995–1 through –6 are

capable of cutting and stripping five different

sequential settings on three different areas of various

coaxial cable sizes; see Figure 2. This sheet covers

the cutting and stripping of the cable, the installation

of new cutting blades, cassettes, adjustment gauge,

V–blocks used for the various cable sizes, and

adjustments and troubleshooting. See Figure 1.

Dimensions on this do ument are in metri units

[with U.S. ustomary units in bra kets]. Figures

and illustrations are for referen e only and are

not drawn to s ale.

Do NOT use stripping tool on oaxial ables with

drain wires.

A 3-step tool is not re ommended for most styles

of RG-62 able, nor for many able styles with

ellular polyethylene or other soft diele tri s. Use

2-step tool instead.

Read these instructions thoroughly before using the

tool.

Reasons for revisions to this document are provided

in Section 9, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

The Coaxial Cable Stripping Tool automatically strips

coaxial cable with jacket diameter of 2.54 to 7.62 mm

[.100 to .300 in.], with minor adjustments. Shipped

with the tool is one color–coded cassette, four

V–blocks and a hex wrench.

Kits come in two styles: a 2–step kit for 2–step

stripping, and a 3–step kit for either 2–step or 3–step

stripping. (the 3–step kit will accommodate both

2–step and 3–step cassettes.)

Cassettes have pre–set strip lengths. Refer to

instruction material for your connector to determine

your strip requirements, then refer to Figure 2 to find

which cassette meets your strip requirements.

Note the parts of the coaxial cable stripping tool in

Figure 3.

3. STRIPPING PROCEDURE

Follow these steps when stripping with the Coaxial

Cable Stripping Tool:

1. Adjust slide to position 4 or 5.

2. Open tool by rotating locking latch downward,

as shown in Figure 4.

3. Mark jacket of cable for center conductor length.

(If you have a simple wire cutter, ignore this

instruction. You can cut center conductor to length

after the strip or use conductor stop C–ST).

4. Hold the tool with the handle toward you and

insert cable from left into the groove position.

Close and latch tool. See Figures 5 and 6.

5. Push slide forward to appropriate start position

(see Figure 7). Make sure proper V–block is

installed.

6. Rotate tool around cable about five times (see

Figure 8). Push slide forward to next position in

sequence. Rotate tool again. Then push slide

forward to final position and rotate tool final five

times.

Figure 8

7. Move slide back one position. Then pull cable

out carefully while squeezing tool (see Figure 9). If

there is too much resistance or strip is imperfect,

refer to Section 4.

Figure 9

4. ADJUSTING THE TOOL

1. Inspect your first strip. Determine how deeply

each blade has scored the cable. See Figure 10 for

the proper direction you may have to adjust.

2. Adjust blade depth to match your cable by

turning hex screws at base of tool (see Figure 10).

If a blade is near its proper depth, turn its screw

approximately one-quarter turn (

). If a

blade is farther from its proper depth, turn its

screw approximately three-quarter (

270

)to

one complete turn (

360

Ad ust tool so that the appropriate slide

progression works correctly (see Figure 7);

develop your own 2- or 3- stage sliding

sequence.

Try stripping again

per Section 3, following

Steps 1 through 7. If strip is still not acceptable,

adjust blades again, following instructions in Steps

1 and 2.

5. SOLUTIONS TO TYPICAL PROBLEMS

If braid is

twisting

too much, turn hex screw to

increase cut of braid–cutting blade one–quarter turn

CLOCKWISE (+90

), and

turn

hex screw for

jacket–cutting blade one quarter turn

COUNTERCLOCKWISE (–90

If, after repeated adjustment, most of the braid will not

cut properly, the blade set is probably worn out.

Reverse cassette to try new blade set.

With RG–174 or other very thin cable, very fine

adjustment is needed. Expect to make several small

adjustments, approximately one–twelfth turn (

to reach proper blade depth. Use a fresh blade set.

Use only high quality thin cable.

6.2. Changing V-Block

1. Open tool fully (Figure 12) until the springs

holding V–block release.

2. Pull out V–block and replace with selected

V–block.

With white V-block, you must position springs in

holes.

6.3. Cassettes

Each cassette contains 2 sets of cutting edges.

Cassette can be reversed each time a blade set

wears out. Numbers 1 and 2 are printed inside

cassette to determine usage.

A. To Change or Reverse Cassette

Move locking latch in direction of arrow, then push

cassette out of tool by inserting wrench through hole

in bottom of tool. Figure 13.

B. Step Strip With 2-Bladed Cassette

This procedure is recommended only in those cases

where the 3–step strip you require is not available in

one of the standard Series cassettes.

If your required strip length is as shown in Figure 14,

choose the 2–step cassette that matches your “C”

dimension.

Mark cable at length “A+B” from end. Figure 15.

1. Open tool, insert cable from left, and locate

mark on cable over the right hand blade.

2. Close and latch tool and strip cable according to

Section 3.

Mark Exposed Dielectric Here

An adjustment of the tool might be necessary. A

correct strip is shown in Figure 16.

3. Mark exposed dielectric at length “A” from end.

4. Remove dielectric at the mark with a simple wire

stripping plier. See Figure 17.

Figure 17

The slide is a unique and important part of the

stripper. The slide allows you to ease the blades into

the cable, reducing the friction on the braid and

dielectric as you strip.

Always use your slide when you strip.

Adjust your tool for the appropriate slide progression.

If your cable size does not appear in Figure 7,

develop your own 2–or 3–stage sliding sequence.

Always step back to position 1 on slide before

pulling out of tool.

7. ADJUSTMENT GAUGE

1. Open the tool by rotating locking latch

downward as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18

2. Push the cassette out of the tool by inserting the

wrench, or appropriate object, through hole in the

bottom of the tool. See Figure 19. Turn blade

adjustment screws counterclockwise until they are

fully retracted. See Figure 10.

7.1. Installation of Adjustment Gauge

The gauge is marked with different cable types. Install

gauge so that the markings, which correspond to the

cable type to be stripped, are above the adjustment

screws; see Figure 20. Close the tool.

Figure 21.

2. Open the tool and remove the gauge.

3. Install the cassette, and the tool is now ready for

use.
