1 First Cut: - All four shield layers-braid/tape/braid/tape.
The first cut should cut the outer sheath without cutting the outer wire braid. If the
braid is frayed, scored, or cut by the blade, adjust the blade outward slightly to
eliminate the fraying.
2 Second Cut - White insulation or first tape.
The second cut should cut the sheath, three outer shields, and possibly the inner
tape shield. The insulation can be scored slightly, but should not have a deep cut.
3 Third Cut - Center conductor.
The third cut should cut all layers of the cable down to the center conductor. This
cut should not score the center conductor. If the blade leaves a mark on the
conductor, adjust the blade slightly so to eliminate marking the conductor.

If any adjustments are made during the cable-stripping procedure to meet items 1, 2, or 3, cut the end of the
cable off and start over.
IMPORTANT
The first and second cut adjustments need to be precise.
Adjustments as small as 1/12 to 1/8 of a turn can make the
difference between a perfect and an imperfect cut.
