How to use
How is it used?
All you need to do is to set the temperature adjustment knob to the temperature suitable for the insulation material of the lead wire and pinch the lead wires with the blades (tips) to strip. You can strip even Teflon and silicon insulations that are hard to strip by usual methods. Let’s actually strip a lead wire using a Teflon-insulated wire as an example.
1. Turn on the power switch.
2. Align the temperature adjustment knob to the temperature suitable for the material of the lead wire insulation.
For stripping a Teflon-insulated wire, set the knob to “7”.
As the blades (tips) and heating element age, it becomes more difficult to melt down the wire. Because of this, it may be necessary to increase the setting of the temperature adjustment knob in accordance with these changes.
| Material of insulation |
Temperature adjustment knob
Reference scale |
Temperature of blade (tip) |
| PVC, nylon, polyethylene |
1 |
approx. Approx. 200ºC(392ºF) |
| Teflon, silicon |
7 |
approx. 600ºC(1112ºF) |
* The temperature of the blade is a reference temperature based on the scale but is not a guaranteed temperature.
3. Pinch the lead wire with the blades (tips) to strip the insulation.
Rotate the lead wire and blades (tips) so that heat is uniformly transferred to the lead wire.
When you desire to make the stripped length uniform, use the lead adjuster. For further details, refer to “Stripped length setting”.
4. Pull the blades (tips) toward the end of the insulation.
