Wire stripping pliers are a tool commonly used by construction engineers in their daily work, and of course, they are also frequently used in daily life. So how to use wire stripping pliers correctly? FINDER shares some precautions when using wire stripping pliers.
Select the corresponding wire stripping blade based on the thickness and model of the cable. The cutting edge of wire stripping pliers has different sizes, suitable for wires and cables of different thicknesses. Choosing a suitable cutting edge can better strip the insulation layer of wires.
Place the prepared cable in the middle of the wire stripping tool blade and select the length of wire to be stripped. Determine the length of the wire to be peeled off. Generally, the length of the wire to be peeled off is the length of the plug or welding plus the length of the crimping terminal, to ensure that the wire can be firmly fixed on the plug or connector after being inserted into the plug or welded.
Grasp the handle of the wire stripping tool, clamp the cable, and slowly apply force to slowly peel off the outer surface of the cable. When using wire stripping pliers to strip the wire, it is necessary to insert the wire into the stripping port, and then gently pinch the handle of the wire stripping pliers to allow the scissors to cut open the insulation layer of the wire. You can also press the handle of the wire stripping pliers diagonally and then push it out in the opposite direction, making it easier to pry open the insulation layer of the wire with the force of the lever.
Release the tool handle and remove the cable. At this point, the metal of the cable is neatly exposed outside, and the rest of the insulation plastic is intact and undamaged.
Crimping. Put the exposed wires into the crimping port, and then use the crimping function of the wire stripping pliers to press the wires tightly to ensure that they can be firmly fixed on the plug or connector.
When using wire stripping pliers, please pay attention to the following safety precautions: wear protective goggles to prevent splashes from damaging the eyes; Confirm the direction of fragment splashing before cutting to avoid injuring surrounding people and objects; Be sure to close the tip of the blade tightly and place it in a safe place that children cannot reach.
