◼
Press the transport lever pin downwards.

Performing the insulation stripping test
You should perform an insulation stripping test every time the material to be pro-
cessed has been changed.
◼
Switch on the mains switch.
◼
Set "Insulation stripping operation" operating mode on the touch display (see
section 6.5 "Switching the operating mode").
◼
Insert a conductor for insulation stripping.
◼
Check the result:
–
Are all stranded wires undamaged?
–
Has the insulation been stripped straight and uniformly?
◼
Check with one of the uncrimped wire end ferrules whether the stripping length
is correct and whether the selected combination of conductor and sleeve
matches optimally.
5.5
Setting the cut depth
Depending on the hardness and thickness of the insulation, it may be necessary to
modify the cut depth for the insulation stripping.
This requires that the cutter separation is changed by adjusting the two cams.
◼
To reach the cams, press the tool unit backwards and swivel it to the right.

Cam screw
◼
Loosen the two cam screws (fig. 6, item 1) (Allen key 2.5 mm).
◼
To decrease the cut depth, adjust the two cams in the "+" direction (larger cutter
separation).
◼
To increase the cut depth, adjust the two cams in the "-" direction (smaller cutter
separation).
◼
Retighten the two cam screws.
Note:
The settings for both cams must match.
