To strip wires using a wire stripping tool, follow the below steps. As always, read the directions specific to your wire stripping tool upon purchasing. And make certain that you purchase a wire stripper that has the correct sized notches for your specific wires!
Locate the notch on the wire stripper that matches your wire’s gauge. To ensure it is in the correct notch, check to see if it fits tightly in the corresponding notch.
Once the notch is located, put the tip of the wire in the correct notch and close the tool. The wire stripping tool’s jaws will be roughly an inch from the end of the wire.
Now, gently squeeze the handles and slowly rotate the tool around the wire.
Once you’ve rotated the tool around the wire, cutting the entirety of the wire’s insulation, slide the stripper off the wire. This will pull off the insulation.
