How To Avoid Finger Injuries When Using A Wire Stripper?
Nov 26, 2025
I. Pre-operation Preparation
1. Check equipment status: Before starting the machine, confirm that the electrical and transmission systems are normal, remove oil and debris from the machine, and ensure that tools and molds are placed properly.
2. Select appropriate blades: Adjust the blade specifications according to the type of wire (e.g., use a flat blade for ordinary wires, a forked blade for shielded wires) to avoid operational errors due to mismatched blades.
3. Set parameters: Adjust parameters such as wire length and stripping length as needed to ensure processing accuracy.
II. Precautions during operation
1. Maintain a safe distance: Keep your hands away from moving parts while working. Never put your hands under the protective net or directly handle the wire being processed.
2. Use tools correctly: When stripping wire, slide the stripper from the inside out to avoid slipping and injuring your hand; if the outer sheath is difficult to peel, you can gently slide it to assist, but keep the direction consistent.
3. Avoid secondary injuries: If a hand injury occurs, stop the machine immediately and treat the wound to prevent infection or further injury. III. Maintenance and Emergency Response
1. Regular Maintenance: Disconnect the power supply after work, clean the equipment, and perform routine maintenance.
2. Blade Replacement Procedure: Power must be disconnected before replacing blades. Adjust the blade gap to a square shape to avoid misalignment that could cause cutting abnormalities.
IV. General Protection Principles
1. Adhere to the "Four Must-Haves" Principle: Every shaft must have a sleeve, every wheel must have a cover, every platform must have a railing, and every opening must have a cover to reduce the risk of mechanical injury.
2. Wear Protective Equipment: Select cut-resistant gloves, etc., according to the working environment, and avoid contact with sharp edges or oily surfaces.
