Replacing the Cutting Blades
in the Crimp Connector Tools
DXE-UT-RB-CC1
For use with the four DX Engineering Coaxial Cable Stripping Tools for Crimp Style Connectors
DXE-UT-405C-P1, DXE-UT-405C-N1, DXE-UT0240C-P1 and DXE-UT0240C-N1
The cutting blades used in the Coaxial Cable Stripping Tools for Crimp Style Connectors are all the same. If you suspect
you are having a problem with a single cutting blade, it can be swapped with another blade in the tool. Replacement
blades are available and come 10 to a pack - part number DX-UT-RB-CC1. The following instructions can be used for
any of the four Coaxial Cable Stripping Tools for Crimp Style Connectors.
WARNING - The blades are sharp. Be careful when handling
the blades to avoid any injuries. Dispose of the old blades
in a manner that no one else may get accidently injured by
one of the discarded blades.
Changing the three cutting blades used for making the first cut on the coaxial cable
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the Phillips screw holding the three blade retention parts in place.
2. Using the small Phillips screwdriver, you can gently push the internal parts loose and remove the blade retainer parts
from the tool.
3. When the retainer parts and blades are laid out, it looks like the picture below. Note: Each of the retainer parts has a
small square and number molded into the part for easier assembly.
4. Starting with part number 1, insert the alignment pin and the first blade.
Note: The blade will only go in part number 1 one way (this is the same for all of the blades and the
other retainer parts as well).
5. Add part number 2 and a cutting blade to the stack.

6. Add part number 3 and a cutting blade to the stack.
7. Add part 4 to the stack. Gently pick up the stack and place it in the tool. Not the alignment tab. The stack only goes
into the tool one way. Gently push on the stack to fully seat it in the tool. Be careful - sharp blades!
8. Replace the Phillips screw that held the stack in the tool.
Changing the cutting blade used for making the second cut on the coaxial cable
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the Phillips screw holding the single blade retention parts in place.
2. Using the small Phillips screwdriver, you can gently push the internal parts loose and remove the blade retainer parts
from the tool.
3. When the blade and retainer parts are laid out, it looks like the picture below.
4. Place the blade in place on the first part as shown. Note the blade will only go in one way.
