The Model CS2000 requires partial assembly upon receipt.
The following items will be included:-
Main Stripping Unit
Handle Assembly (inc large washer & nut)
Stripping Length Stop Assembly (inc rod and strip length stop with screw)
Perspex Guard
Blade Opening Lever
2 Allen Keys
1 Set of Stripping blades of your choice

First assemble the handle to the main unit. To do this, turn the unit on its side, and screw the handle into the large threaded hole in the control block (drawg nos. 43), make sure the nut and washer are fitted on first. Screw the handle until at least 15mm (the further the better) of the thread is engaged. Tighten the large lock nut securely against the control block to hold the handle in place.

Set the unit on the bench with the handle to the right. Install the strip length rod into the threaded hole on the left front of the unit. Tighten the rod using the locknut making sure the flat along the length of the rod is in a vertical position. Slide the strip length stop onto the rod to the desired position and tighten using the wrench provided.

Install the Blade Opening Handle (Drogue nos. 34) into the left or right hand blade carrier using the smallest allen wrench.

Next install the blades. To do this remove the socket head screws from the two blade earners, using the wrench provided. Slide one blade into each earner, with the countersink on the die blade facing the cable grippers. Check that each blade is fully seated on the bottom of its blade carrier. Re-install the blade holder screws but leave loose. Pull the handle back slightly until the blades close. Adjust the blades for the desired spacing. Die blades should come together for the best stripping performance, but may be separated to allow for variations in cable sizes. Centre the opening of the die blades directly above the cable height adjuster (drawg nos. 30) If using straight blades, centre the opening using the cable height adjuster as a guide.

After all adjustments have been made, tighten the blade carrier screws securely. Return the handle to its starting position, and note that the blades now open automatically at the end of each stripping cycle. The blade opening lever is not required when the unit is used m the automatic mode, and it may be removed form the blade corners using the smallest alien wrench. If desired for precise stripping or operator preference, the unit may be set to a manual mode so that the blades remain permanently closed and are opened by the operator via the use of the blade opening lever.

To set the unit in the manual mode, tip it on its side, and referring to the exploded parts diagram, remove the plates and screws shown as in numbers 65,38 and 39 on the drawing. The unit will now function with the blades permanently closed, and the blades are opened manually using the blade opening lever.

OPERATION: - CS2000

To strip, pull the handle back all the way and return it to the start position. (Sometimes the faster the pull the cleaner the strip) If the desired strip length is longer than what can be achieved with one pull, simply cycle again until the slug is removed. NOTE: The ability to use multiple cycling to remove the slug is dependent on the cable construction and strip length.
