Model 105131 Micro Wirestripping Handpiece
User Information and Instruction Sheet |
Summary: Resistance heat is obtained by passing a
safe, low voltage, high amperage current through a resistive alloy. As
with all Resistance Wire-Stripping Handpieces, heat is generated local to
the elements. Current is present for only so long as power is being
applied to the Handpiece. The closed loop elements provide a path for the
current from the Power Unit, through the Handpiece and back to the Power
Unit.

Description: Micro Tweezer Thermal Wirestripping
Handpiece. This handpiece is supplied with two Nickel-Chromium Elements
for stripping insulation from wire. It is equipped with a four-foot (1.22
m) neoprene cable (18-2 HPN) with taper pin quick connect terminals for
connecting to American Beauty® Power Unit (push in turning
clockwise until snug) and padded handles for operator comfort. This
Handpieces uses Resistance Wire Elements to create heat in order to soften
or melt through the outer jacket of the wire to be stripped.

Uses: This American Beauty® Thermal
Wirestrippers were developed to remove insulation from #24 gauge and finer
wire. This Wirestripper can successfully and cleanly remove insulation
from low-temperature PVC up to and including high-temperature fluorocarbon
types (PVC will require low heat settings - just to soften but not burn).
Since heat is the essence to softening and parting the insulating
material, time required to strip wire will vary with the type and
thickness of the jacket, as well as the conductor size. Any shielding
under the jacket will slow the softening time, but most insulation will
strip cleanly without fraying, given time. Proper stripping method is to
heat, twist and pull gently to remove the insulation.
Please reference the General Operating Instructions for American Beauty® Resistance Soldering Systems for more detailed operating instructions and guidelines.

Recommended Power Units: This handpiece may be used
with the following American Beauty® power units: Model 105A3
& Model 105A3T
(Both 100 Watts). NOTE: The Power Unit output must be limited to the lower working range, to avoid damage to the element. It is always a good idea to start out at the lowest setting on the power unit when using this Handpiece. The use of a Footswitch (Model 10519) for ease of heating time adjustment and control is highly recommended.

Replacement Electrodes/Elements: |
WARNING: ELECTRODES GENERATE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF HEAT WHEN POWER IS APPLIED. USE WITH CAUTION TO AVOID BURNS, FIRE OR OTHER POTENTIAL DAMAGE. DO NOT OPERATE NEAR COMBUSTABLE MATERIALS. NORMAL USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS LIKELY TO EXPOSE THE USER TO SOLDERS CONTAINING LEAD, WHICH IS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS (OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM) OR OTHER PROPOSITION 65 LISTED CHEMICALS.
