Leviton 49660 Stripper

Jun 11, 2007 1 Replies

I've inherited a leviton 49660 wire cutter/stripper. I've figured out how to use the notches at the front to strip the outer jacket from cat



5 cable, and there's a cutter between the handles that seems self explanatory, but I can't figure out what the other blade between the handles is for. Since it doesn't meet the other handle, I'd guess it is some sort of stripper for the paired conductors, but I don't seem to be able to make it work. Is that what it's for? Is there a trick to it?


From what I can tell, this tool is no longer in production, as the


leviton web site returns a user guide for a different tool.


Thanks, Chris
