Unwrapping and backforce are special features for wire wrapping, and are
available with the PTX Series. All models of the tool, whether battery or electric
powered, have the unwrapping feature built in; the backforce feature is optional,
and is found in models PTX-1BF, PTX-2BF, PTX-2BF-UK and PTX-48BF.
USING THE UNWRAPPING FEATURE:
Install unwrapping bit/sleeve in the collet. Flip the switch on the rear face of the
tool into the down position, which reverses the motor direction to change from
‘wrap’ to ‘unwrap.’ Place the unwrapping bit/sleeve over the terminal so that
the hook-shaped portion of the unwrapping bit is positioned to engage the top
end of the wire coil that is to be unwrapped. Squeeze the trigger of the tool
and hold it stationary, allowing the bit to do the work of unraveling the wire coil.
Be sure to remove all of the unwrapped wire from the bit and the work area prior
to proceeding to additional unwrap operations.
CAUTION!
Unwrapping requires a special bit and sleeve or a dedicated manual
unwrapping tool; DO NOT attempt to unwrap with a bit and sleeve that is used
for wrapping only, this will damage the bit and sleeve and is detrimental to the
reliability of the connection.
