How do you know where to place the blade for different gauge wire? Is there a wire gauge guide?

Always place it in the center and adjust the sides to fit the wire. It works better on larger wire than smaller wire.

The kit doesn't have a gauge, but it does have a guide that sets the distance for garden tools and such. The attachment for chain saws has lines to indicate the angle to be used. The only thing that is missing here is the 5-10 degree angle of upward tilt that you need, but if you follow the angle of the teeth, you should be able to guesstimate that yourself. Hope that helps.

If I recall correctly they are both wires - I use the big blades and only used the small ones that came with my original package. It's simply a size difference and the big blade is faster.

It's probably to small to handle the skill saw. Wire size should be 2 guage minimum and no longer than 3'

Simple.. you place the black inner blade guide in first.. The black plastic guide has a pointing thing on it that moves the spring back in place.if you do it right.. the black plastic guide should be close to the cutting blade... the metal blade has a little gray hinge turn and lock that locks the blade in place.... let me know if I helped you.. I have to warn you.. that black plastic guide does not hold up over time when you wash it in the dish washer.. the first thing to break is that pointing thing that holds the spring back.. It's still a great cutting machine.. Jim

I am not 100% sure, but it may have to do with the "deep notch" one has and the other doesn't. The one with the deep notch will allow you to cut larger gauge material, BUT if you are cutting mostly smaller gauge material all the time such as 15 gauge barbed wire, you may not want the deep notch.

Several ways. The best is to soldier them and tape the connections. You can also use a water right splice fitting for that gauge wire. You can find both at your local hardware store.

Insert the wire in the middle or between the first the second set of "jaws". The tool will grip the wire between bothsets of "jaws" and "break" the wire leaving a clean strip. The picture of the tool on Amazon shows the positioning of the wires. Most tools of this type have similar mechanisms.

Gene, I am not sure. As I remember it, when I ordered mine I went to the vendor's site to confirm the correct item to order. They had color-coding based on the length of the blade. Thanks!

Not as good as I would like it to. The wheel is set to the thickness of whatever wire insulation it is that you are currently stripping, NOT to the wire gauge. So when you tear out old wire to strip you run all of the #14 NM through, then reset slightly and run all of the #14 NM-B and THHN through, then slightly reset again and run all of the #14 MTW. The new wire that comes home is either NM-B or THHN and they strip on the same setting, adjusting only as the wire gauge changes. NM is old Romex, NM-B is new Romax and THHN or MTW is single strand taken from conduit. I have had mine set up to a variable speed drill and on slow stripped pieces over 30 feet so long as the wire was not mangled up. Not as good as I would like it to.

(Sheepishly), I haven't used mine yet. But, I did go out and take a measurement for you. It should go down approximately 3.5". Now, the actual cutting blade isn't very wide (possible 1/16" > 1/8" wide), so you may have to make multiple "cuts" depending on the diameter of your wire. Hope this helps.

You do and you don't, if you cut thick guage metal you do. If you're cutting stuff less than half an inch you probably do not have to worry since the unit will not draw more. I would replace the breaker and outlet with a 50 amp setup though as a safety precaution.

There is not depth guide. The attachment around the blade is a debris shiel.

Go to Prodyne web site. According to info w/my slicer, the wire is $1. They are warranted against breakage. Check it out, or give them a call.

There is nothing to adjust for the width. It has a fixed set of blades that are grooved to accept 8-22 gauge wire.

I personally feel its easier to hold a small lenght of the wire that is closer the mower in hand along with the mower handle. This also ensure the wire did not lay in the mowing area and get cut by the mower blades. Note that you have to buy the extension cord for this mower.

These wiress are made for a specific cutting board. When installed corectly the handle pivots and tightens the wire to make the cut. I dont know what cutting boad you are using.
