Insulation (Wire) Stripper
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
By pressing the outer edges of the wiring harness cable length stop together the adjuster can be slid up or down the jaw. This decreases or increases the length by which the cable insulation will be stripped from the pre-terminated lead or wiring harness cable.
NOTE:
Some wiring harness insulation may be harder and require more effort to make a clean strip but exercise care not to damage the wire.
The adjuster has a position indicator to align with a graduated scale and this sets the correct length in millimeters, of insulation to be stripped. The amount of insulation to be stripped is shown in the Electrical Wiring Harness Repair Relationship Table .
The following illustration shows the insulation stripper tool and a wiring harness correctly gripped in the jaws. A wire cutter is provided on the outer side of the fixed jaw.
