Troubleshooting

Wire insulation is not being stripped completely.

Adjust the fine adjustment dial. It may be set too tight or too loose for the specific insulation material.

The tool is damaging the wire conductors.

Check the blade setting and reduce the cutting pressure using the fine adjustment dial. Ensure the correct wire size is selected for the tool.

The integrated cutter isn't cutting the cable.

Make sure the cable size is within the cutter's capacity (up to 16 mm²). Ensure the cable is positioned correctly in the cutter.

The stripping length is inconsistent.

Check and adjust the length stop to ensure accurate and repeatable stripping lengths.
