Suitable for

• Stripping insulation from round cables with diameters between 4 mm and 28 mm
• Electrical installation work in residential and commercial buildings
• Preparation of cable ends for terminal connections
• Maintenance and repair of electrical wiring systems

When it may not be suitable

This tool is specifically designed for round cables and may not be effective for flat cables or specialized armored cables. It is not intended for cutting through solid metal conductors or for use on live electrical circuits.

Key specifications

• Cable diameter range: 4-28 mm
• Adjustable cutting depth
• Ergonomic handle for improved grip
• Suitable for circular and longitudinal cuts

How to use

To use the Erko NI_28, first adjust the cutting depth dial to match the thickness of the cable insulation. Place the cable into the stripping head and rotate the tool around the cable circumference to make a circular cut. For longitudinal stripping, pull the tool along the length of the cable. Always ensure the blade is retracted or safely positioned when not in use to maintain sharpness and prevent accidental injury.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable diameter falls within the 4-28 mm range
• Ensure the cable type is compatible with standard stripping knives
• Consider the frequency of use to determine if a professional-grade tool meets your requirements

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the cable for any signs of damage before stripping. Keep the blade clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation and extend the lifespan of the tool. Replace the blade if you notice any signs of dulling to maintain clean cuts and avoid damaging the conductor.
