3.
While continuing to hold the cable, as close to the tool as possible, with your left hand, slowly rotate the
tool in a forward direction around the cable. This may be simplified by using the “finger loop” on the end of
the tool. Rotate the tool 3-5 revolutions until you can no longer hear any braid or shielding being cut and/or
the tool spins freely on the cable (7 and 11 cables may require more revolutions). On series 11 cable it may
be necessary to set the blade before rotating the tool. This is accomplished by rotating the tool one time while
squeezing the jaws. Once this is done the tool will guide itself around the cable.
4.
With your right hand, firmly grasp the blade cassette area of the tool and pull the tool away from the cable
end. Preparation is now complete.
5.
Open the tool and discard any remaining jacket or dielectric waste material.
6.
Check the trimmed cable end to ensure that the braid, dielectric and jacket are cut cleanly and that the
center conductor is clean.
