NOTE: See the following chart for the relation between the
number of torque setting and fastening torque rate.
The fastening torque rate will be different depends on
materials. Make a test fastening to get the desired
torque before operation.

Wire Stripper
1. Feed wire into guide notch
2. Press the wire stripper tab and twist the tool slightly
3. Pull the tool towards the end of wire
NOTE: It is important to match the size of wire to the
correct notch in the stripper. If the notch is too large, the
wire will not get stripped. If the notch is too small, there is a
risk of damaging the wire.
If a wire accidentally gets damaged, it is best to cut the
damaged part of the wire off and try again.
