5. Упутство за употребу
Follow these steps for effective coring and stripping of 500 Kcmil cables:
- Prepare Cable End: Ensure the cable end is cut cleanly and squarely. Remove any burrs or irregularities.
- Уметните кабл: Carefully insert the cable end into the tool until it reaches the internal stop. Ensure the cable is centered within the tool's opening.
- Engage Blades: Apply firm, steady pressure to the tool, pushing it onto the cable. The blades will begin to cut the sheath and core the dielectric.
- Rotate Tool:
- Ручни рад: Rotate the T-handle clockwise around the cable. Continue rotating and applying forward pressure until the stripping and coring process is complete.
- Drill Operation: Attach a 3/8" drill to the adapter. With the drill set to a low speed, activate the drill and apply steady forward pressure, rotating the tool around the cable until the process is complete.
- Уклоните алат: Once the cut is complete, carefully remove the tool from the cable. The stripped sheath and cored dielectric material should be cleanly separated.
- Прегледајте кабл: Examine the prepared cable end to ensure a clean strip and core, free from nicks or damage to the conductor.
6. Одржавање
