How to use a handheld wire stripping tool?

Founded in 2005, WOMA Tools is a leading manufacturer and distributor serving the power engineering and specialty engineering industries. One of the many tools they make is a handheld wire stripping tool. This tool may look intimidating if you are using it for the first time, but with a little instruction, it will become a breeze. Next, we will guide you on how to use a handheld wire stripping tool.

First, make sure you have the correct handheld wire stripping tool. Different tools are for different sizes of wire, and using a tool that is too small or too large can damage the wire or the tool. Before you begin, make sure you have the correct equipment.

Second, wear safety glasses. It is important to protect your eyes when stripping wire because small sections of wire can accidentally fly out.

Next, select the wire you want to strip and determine the section that needs to have its insulation stripped off. Hold the wire firmly and place the wire stripping tool on the correct section of the wire.

Using the tool's blade, clamp the wire with enough pressure to hold it in place. Be careful not to squeeze too hard or you may damage the wire. Once the wire is secured, rotate the tool around the wire to cut away the insulation. The blade of the tool should be on the side of the wire you want to cut and should not touch or cut the wire.

After rotating the tool around the wire, the insulation should come off easily. Finally, inspect the wire to make sure the cut is smooth and there is no remaining insulation. Repeat these steps for each wire that needs stripping.

In summary, with a little instruction using a handheld wire stripping tool, you can quickly learn this skill. Remember to use the correct tools, wear safety glasses, and handle the wire gently.
