4. Postavljanje i priprema
Before using the Cablematic CST 500, ensure the tool is correctly configured for your specific cable type and desired strip length.
- Pregledajte oštrice: Verify that the coring and stripping blades are clean, sharp, and free from damage. Replace blades if necessary (refer to Maintenance section).
- Kompatibilnost kablova: Confirm that the CST 500 is the correct tool for your 500 Kcmil cable.
- Adjust Strip Length (if applicable): The tool supports strip lengths from 0.5" to 2" (12.7 to 50.8 mm). Adjust the stop mechanism if your model allows for variable strip lengths, using the provided hex keys.
- Manual or Drill Operation: Decide whether to use the tool manually with the T-handle or with a 3/8" drill for powered operation. Ensure the drill adapter is securely attached if using a drill.
5. Uputstvo za upotrebu
Follow these steps for effective coring and stripping of 500 Kcmil cables:
- Prepare Cable End: Ensure the cable end is cut cleanly and squarely. Remove any burrs or irregularities.
- Umetnite kabel: Carefully insert the cable end into the tool until it reaches the internal stop. Ensure the cable is centered within the tool's opening.
- Uključite oštrice: Apply firm, steady pressure to the tool, pushing it onto the cable. The blades will begin to cut the sheath and core the dielectric.
- Rotate Tool:
- Ručni rad: Rotate the T-handle clockwise around the cable. Continue rotating and applying forward pressure until the stripping and coring process is complete.
- Drill Operation: Attach a 3/8" drill to the adapter. With the drill set to a low speed, activate the drill and apply steady forward pressure, rotating the tool around the cable until the process is complete.
- Alat za uklanjanje: Once the cut is complete, carefully remove the tool from the cable. The stripped sheath and cored dielectric material should be cleanly separated.
- Pregledajte kabl: Examine the prepared cable end to ensure a clean strip and core, free from nicks or damage to the conductor.
6. Održavanje
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Cablematic CST 500 tool.
- čišćenje: After each use, clean the tool to remove any cable debris, insulation, or dielectric material. Use a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the tool's finish.
- Inspekcija oštrice: Periodically inspect the coring and stripping blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can lead to poor cable preparation and potential injury.
- Zamjena oštrice: If blades become dull or damaged, they should be replaced. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific blade replacement procedures for your model. Use only genuine Cablematic replacement blades.
- podmazivanje: Apply a light coat of machine oil to moving parts and blades occasionally to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
