Refer to instruction material for your connector to detennine your
strip requirements. Then refer to Fig. I to find which cassette you
should use.

*(A) can be adjusted with C-ST, conductor stop.
Note the parts of the
stripper in Figure 2.
Follow these steps when stripping with the Corex
®
II Coaxial
Stripper.
A. Adjust slide
to pas. 4 or 5.
B. Open tool
by rotating locking latch
downwards (Fig. 3).
C. Mark jacket
of cable for center conductor
length. (If you have a simple wire
cutter, ignore this instruction. You car.
cut center conductor to length after the
strip or use conductor stop C-ST.)
D.
Hold the tool with the handle towards
you and insert coax from left into the
groove position. Close and latch tool.
(Figs. 4 and 5)
E. Push slide forward
to apprcpriate start
position (see Fig. 6). Make sure proper
V-block is installed.

F. Rotate tool
around coax about 5 times
(Fig. 7). Push slide forward to next
position in sequence. Rotate tool again.
Then push slide forward to final position
and rotate tool final 5 times.
G. Moves lide back one position.
Then
pull cable out carefully while squeezing
tool (Fig. 8). If there is too much resistance
or strip is imperfect, go to step
"H".
Adjusting the Corex® II Coaxial Cable Stripper
H. Inspect your first strip.
Determine
how deeply each blade has scored the
cable.
I. Adjust blade depth
to match your
cable size by turning allen screws at
base of tool (Fig. 9).
Tips:
If a blade is
near
its proper position,
turn its set screw app. ± 90°.
If blade is a
little far
off from its proper position, turn its screw
± 270° - ± 360°.
Note:
adjust tool so that the appropriate slide progression works
(Figure 6), develop your own 2- or 3-stage sliding sequence.
J. Try stripping again
, following steps A through G. If strip is still
not acceptable, adjustbladesone more time, followinginstructions
H and I.
Solutions to typical problems
If braid is twisting too much, turn set screw for braid-cutting blade
+90° and turn set screw for jacket-cutting blace -90°.
If, after repeated adjustment, most of braid will not cut properly, your
blade set is probably worn out. Reverse cassette to try new blade set.
With RG 174 or other very thin cable,
very fine adjustment
is
needed. Expect to make several adjustments (±30°), to reach proper
blade depth. Use a
fresh blade set.
Use only high quality thin cable.

To change V-block.
Open tool fully (Fig.

release. Pull out V-block and replace with
selected V-block.
Note!
With
white V-block
,
you must position springs in holes.
Cassettes
Each cassette contains 2 sets of cutting
edges. Cassette can be reversed each time
a blade set wears out. Numbers 1 and 2
are printed inside cassette to deterrnine
usage.
To change or reverse cassette.
Move locking latch in direction of arrow,
then push cassette out of tool by inserting
wrench through hole in bottom of tool
(Fig. 12).
