1. Choose the correct AWG for the contact being used.
(See chart)
2. Measure from the end of the wire (Pic. A) the
recommended strip length according to the contact
size. (See chart)
3. Place the wire into the stripping tool at the
recommended strip length. Strip the wire according to
stripping tool instructions.
4. After stripping, a small piece of the insulation should
come off. (Pic. B)
5. Check for any broken strands or for a dent in the wire. If
either exist, the wire is damaged and should be cut and
stripped again.
6. Measure the exposed strands to be sure the crimp
length is correct. (Pic. C)
