Wire stripper is one of the common tools used by electricians for circuit maintenance. It is used for electricians to peel off the insulation layer on the surface of wire head. The wire stripper can separate the insulating skin of the cut wire from the wire and prevent people from electric shock. Ordinarily, many people use wire stripper for wire treatment, but they don’t know how to use wire stripper. Now let’s introduce the use of wire stripper.
Performance standard of wire stripper: the pliers head can open and close flexibly, it can open and close freely under the action of spring; When the cutting edge is closed, the gap between the cutting edges shall not be greater than 0.3mm; The jaw hardness of wire stripper shall not be lower than HRA56 or HRC30; The wire stripper can peel off the plastic or rubber insulation layer outside the wire smoothly; The handle of wire stripper has sufficient bending strength. After the adjustable end face wire stripper bears the load test of 20n · m, the permanent deformation of the wire stripper handle shall not be greater than 1mm.
Usage of wire strippers
Key points of wire stripper: the hole diameter of wire stripper shall be selected according to the wire diameter.
1. Select the corresponding wire stripper cutting edge according to the thickness and model of the cable.
2. Place the prepared cable in the middle of the cutting edge of the stripper and select the length to be stripped.
3. Hold the handle of the wire stripping tool, clamp the cable, and slowly force the outer skin of the cable to peel off slowly
4. Loosen the tool handle and take out the cable. At this time, the cable metal is neatly exposed, and the other insulating plastics are intact.
Precautions for operation of wire strippers
The following three safety precautions must be paid attention to in the daily use of wire stripper:
1. Please wear goggles during operation;
2. In order not to hurt people and objects around the fragment, please confirm the splash direction of the fragment before cutting off;
3. Be sure to close the tip of the blade and place it in a safe place where children can’t reach out.
The above is the content about the use method of wire strippers. Wire strippers are also a relatively professional electrical tool. Therefore, we must understand its use method in order to operate correctly in normal use without damaging the electric wire or wire strippers.
