Troubleshooting
The tool is not cutting through the insulation.
Adjust the knurled nut to increase the cutting depth or inspect the blade for wear and replace if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines:
- Adjustment: Before making the first cut, test the tool on a scrap piece of cable. Use the knurled nut to adjust the blade depth until it scores the insulation without reaching the conductor.
- Compatibility: This tool is compatible with PVC, rubber, silicone, and PTFE cable jackets within the 19mm-40mm range.
- Maintenance: Periodically clean the internal mechanism of dust or debris from insulation. If the cut becomes ragged, inspect the internal blade for dullness and replace it as needed.
- Storage: Store the tool in a dry, tool-bag protected environment to maintain the integrity of the plastic casing.
