Electrical Safety Practices
OPERATION MANUAL CP-881 ENG
GROUNDING:
In the event of a m alfunction or break down, groundin g provides a pat h of least resistanc e
for electric current which re duces the ris k of electrical shock . T his tool is equi pped with an
electric cord that includes an equipm ent-grounding c onductor and a gro unding plug. The
plug must be inserted into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surfa ce that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equ ipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician, or service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood; or if in doubt a s to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
WARNING
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Size the
WARNING
ONLY OPERATE THE CP-881 A CLEAN, DRY, INDOOR ENVIRONMENT.
DO NOT EXPOSE POWER TOOLS TO RAIN OR WET CONDITIONS.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS:
•Replacement of components and internal adjustments must be made by qualified
maintenance personnel.
• Disconnect power cable when replacing components.
• Dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed.
• To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits by grounding
before touching circuitry.
• Input connection to the product must remain accessible as a disconnect device.

WARNING
persons operating the CP-881.
WARNING
1. STAY ALERT, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
These safety guards should be removed only by specialized and authorized technical persons who take
care to adopt all security measures to avoid any risk of danger and injury.
3. PREVENT UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pa ck, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
5. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance a t all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
7. NEVER STAND ON TOOL.
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
8. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use And Care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool fo r your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not tur n it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of ch ildren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalign m ent or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions an d th e work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Fault Condition 4:
Cable insulation is not completely removed.
Disconnect the main power supply from the CP-881 and open cover.
1. Check the cross-section information
If stripping is faulty, check whether the selected cable cross-section corresponds to the crosssection size of the tool insert and the ferrule feeder block. The tool inserts must be adapted to
the cable cross-section if the CP-881 has not been properly tooled. The cross-section of the
cable must also be checked.
After checking the cross-section
size remove the tool insert (see
Chapter
RETOOLING) and check
the stripping cutters (1).
Replace the stripping cutters of
the tool insert if they are worn or
damaged.
Remove the allen screw (2) at the
bottom and insert new stripping
cutters with the same crosssection. The corresponding article
number is stated in Chapter

3. Adjustable Cutting Blades
The tooling insert has adjustable
cutting blades.
Diagram 27: Check the stripping cutter
Using a small Phillips screwdriver,
the blade can be adjusted to cut
slightly deeper by turning the
screw clockwise.
Turn the screw, in small
increments to prevent cutting or
nicking the wire during insulation
stripping.
Fault Condition 5:
The ferrule is not separated from band.
Open the cover and disconnect the CP-881 from main power supply.
supply. Make sure that you have proper power supplied to the plug socket.
If the cutter (1) is damaged or
broken off, the cable crimped with
the ferrule will not be separated
from the band.
In this case, remove the tool insert
(see also Chapter
and check the cutter (1). When
the cutter (1) is defective, the
ferrule locator (3) must be
removed by unscrewing the crosshead screw (2) and a new locator
for the corresponding cross
