Cutting Blade Replacement
The cutting blade is very sharp. Use great care when replacing it.
1. Use a 1/2” wrench to remove the cutting blade assembly. See Drawings A and D
2. Dispose of used blade carefully
3. Install the new blade and lubricate with a general purpose grease or light oil. Reassemble the cutting blade assembly according to Drawing D.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Select the proper Cable Guide for the size of cable you are stripping. See Parts List.
2) Attach the Cable Guide to the QuickStrip LS with the socket head screw #1.
Use a 5/32” hex key.
3) Feed the cable into the stripper from left to right, under the Tension Pin and between the Cutting Blade and Cable Guide.
(See Drawing B)
4) Raise or lower the Cable Guide so that the cutting Blade penetrates the insulation to the cable strands. Turn the Adjustment Knob clockwise to raise the Cable Guide, and turn counterclockwise (anticlock­wise)to lower the Cable Guide.
(See Drawing C)
5) Push the cable under the Cutting Blade, then grip the cable and pull. The blade should cut through the insulation, which can then be stripped off the copper conductor.
6) Proper adjustment of the Cable Guide is essential. If the insulation is not completely cut, raise the Cable Guide so that it cuts through the insulation completely. If it is difficult to pull the cable through the stripper that the blade is cutting too deeply into the copper. In this case, lower the Cable Guide.
