It will cut both circumferentially and longitudinally with less
effort and more accurately than present methods.
It’s compact and ergonomic design enables the user to terminate
cables easier in confined spaces and far more safely. Made from
light weight aluminium and precision engineered steel parts this
tool is built to withstand repeated usage.
The SACS Tool (Steel
Wired Armoured Cable Stripper) has been designed by an
experienced electrician who appreciates the hazards of stripping
cable using hacksaw and utility knife.
Save Time 30% faster than using a hacksaw and knife
Improve Safety Safer tool means a reduced risk of injury
Save Money Increased productivity and reduced injury associated
costs
Reduce Waste Increased accuracy means fewer mistakes
Comply with ‘Safe Working Practice’
Minimise the risk of injury and reduce the risk of substantial damages
With a 3 year guarentee (excluding blade) the SACS Tool (Steel
Armoured Cable Stripper) is a cost effective solution to
stripping down your 12-35mm diameter cables.
Easy to use in confined spaces, this small and robust tool will quickly become a
large
asset to your business.
Frequently Asked Questions Can the tool be used by either
hand? Yes it can be used by left and right handed tradespeople.
What size cables can the
SACS tool
cable stripper act on? The tool works on cables with diameters
from 12mm(3 core 2.5mm) upto 35mm (3core 70mm)
Can it strip the second layer of
insulation? Yes, but as with a sharp knife extra care needs to
be taken.
How many operations can the blade perform? The suppliers of the
blade estimate that 300 operations should be possible.
Can the SACS tool cable stripper be used to strip other cables?
The tool has been used to strip YY cable with some care.
How do I maintain the tool?
Occasional cleaning and oiling are advised. Check and tighten all pins/screws.
What skill level do you need to be
able to use it? It is easily learnt and far simpler than
traditional methods of Hacksaw and knife. Repeated use will improve user
results.
How does the
SACS tool cable
stripper improve on other products? The
SACS tool is the only
product that can act on both insulation and steel strands and cut in both
directions.
How do you stop the strands
"hooking" when breaking off at cut point? Insufficient cut depth
and / or poor quality cable lead to this effect. The outer sheaf on some cables
allow the strands to flex which causes the "hook". Apply finger tip pressure at
snap point to reduce.
SACS Instructions Complete 5-step process of
using the SACS
Tool. Blade cut
depth will vary
according to
cable size,
progressive
advancement is
best.
STEP 1: ROTARY
CUT
· Place
the tool on the
cable at gland
point and
advance the
blade down into
the outer
insulation.
· Rotate
the tool around
the cable to cut
through outer
insulation.
·
Continue to
advance blade
into steel
strands to
required depth.
· Repeat
insulation only
cut approx 2”
further along
the cable.
STEP 2:
LONGITUDINAL CUT
· Rotate tool 90 degrees to cable at first cut point and advance
blade down into insulation.
· Guide the tool down the length of the cable ensuring sufficient
cut depth.
· Adjustment of blade depth as required to cut insulation.
STEP 3:
REMOVE OUTER SHEATH
· Split and remove outer insulation sheath.
· Unwind the steel strands and snap using fingertip pressure at cut
point.
· Remove second portion of insulation and splay strands.
STEP 4:
ROTARY CUT ON INNER SHEATH
· Place tool on cable where secondary insulation is required to be
removed.
· Advance blade and perform rotary cut to required depth.
· Care should be taken not to overcut as damage may be caused to
conductors.
STEP 5:
LONGITUDINAL CUT AND REMOVAL OF SECONDARY SHEATH
· Rotate tool 90 degrees to cable and advance blade into insulation.
· Guide the tool down the length of the cable ensuring sufficient
cut depth.
· Split secondary insulation layer and remove to expose conductors.
