Long and loose hair must be contained. Appropriate footwear must be worn. Close fitting/protective clothing must be worn. Gloves, rings and jewelry must not be worn as wire could catch on the item and bring hands towards the machine. Hearing protection should be worn when using this machine.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E Ø DO NOT make side-bolt centering adjustments while the machine is running. Ø DO NOT wear loose clothing or gloves as death or dismemberment can occur. When feeding wire/cable, gloves can snag on scrap wire and bring hand towards machine. Ø DO NOT touch moving parts while the machine is running. Ø DO NOT put cable/wire longer than 1 meter into machine. Ø DO NOT switch off the machine when it is under load, except in an emergency.

W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E 3 Chapter Operations Note THOROUGHLY READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE! PURPOSE Ø The purpose of the WS-260 is to remove outer and inner jackets from wires and cables in order to separate the inner copper or aluminum. These types of machines are widely used in the recycling industry to extract copper and aluminum for recycling.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E MACHINE COMPONENTS Ø The main components of the WS-260 are the central cutting and rolling assemblies on the left multi-blade side and the single channel rolling wheel and large blade on the right side. These are both driven by a transfer case, a gearing system and a motor. The safety guards are situated on top of both assemblies as well as in front where the wire guide is situated.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E LEFT MULTI-BLADE COMPONENTS Ø Ø This side has two primary adjusting points. The main way is though the four T-bolts. These are the black bolts on the top of the machine that have a locking wing nut. These T-bolts are used to tighten or loosen the springs that control the upper cutting assembly. Essentially these are used to cut deeper or shallower into wire jackets.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G o M A C H I N E If the blades are not centered or have too much play, they can be adjusted. You really only need the entire cutter assembly (from bearing housing on right to bearing housing on left) to have about 1/16” of play. Essentially, you just need enough room for the centering bolts to allow the entire assembly to raise when a piece of wire goes through the channel and pushes up the entire cutter assembly.

This is the large round wheel handle on the top of the lead screw. Turning the wheel clockwise will lower the main cutting blade. Turning the wheel counter-clockwise will raise the cutting blade. Ø Under the cutting blade is the main channel roller.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E Ø S T R I P P I N G Under the main channel roller in the main large wire channel where wire 10mm-60mm can be fed through. o Ø M A C H I N E NOTE: DO NOT remove the main channel roller. Feed wire underneath this roller (not over the top). There is a small wire channel located under the large wire channel (see figure below). This channel can be used for wire 2mm-10mm. RUNNING WIRE Ø Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E Ø S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E Have your wires ready to process, by separating them by type and cutting them into 3-4’ lengths. o This is primarily for safety, but also to protect the motor from torque created by pulling heavy wires into the machine. Ø Go through the on/off functions to make sure they are operating correctly. Start the machine by pressing the green “on” switch. Stop the machine by pressing the red “off” switch. Ø Turn the machine on.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E 4 Chapter Troubleshooting Problem Solution Wires get jammed in the machine Left multi-blade side; 1) Loosen the top hand cranks to take pressure off springs to allow more room for the springs to depress. 2) Check to make sure you are running the wire through the right channel. This takes some time to figure out. Be patient when clearing the machine. Try the step down method. Start in a larger hole than you think.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E 5 Chapter Maintenance Ø Inspect electrical cords and electrical connections. Ø Keep machine clean and free of debris. Ø Grease internal gears with red grease or Molybdenum grease as needed. Ø Spray antirust oil on spindle and blade shaft as needed. Ø Inspect blades occasionally to ensure they are sharp for optimal cutting. Changing Blades on Left Multi-Blade Side 1. Remove upper cutter/roller tensioners and the springs below them. 2.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E 7. Unscrew spanner nut clockwise. If you do not have a spanner nut wrench, it is possible to use a pair of vice grips. 8. MAKE SURE YOU MARK THE SPACERS 1 THROUGH 5 (OR 1 THROUGH 9 FOR THE TOP ASSEMBLY), SO THAT THEY GO BACK ON IN THE SAME ORDER THAT YOU TOOK THEM OFF. 9. Blades are ready to come off and be replaced.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E 10. When re-assembling put the bearing back into the bearing housing before attaching the housing to the cutter/roller. 11. Follow all other steps in reverse order to reassemble. Changing Blades on Right Single-Blade Side 1. Take the top guard off. 2. Deconstruct assembly housing.
W S - 2 6 0 W I R E S T R I P P I N G M A C H I N E 3. Take the cutter assembly out. 4. Unbolt the blade from the assembly. 5. Bolt in new blade and reconstruct assembly. 6. Put all back together. Ensure the blade is centered properly. You can adjust the centering using the spanner nuts on the sides of the blade assembly.
