If you're asking about stripping it to the copper wire, definitely not! That'll be very dangerous. The clips go over the insulated wires, one on each wire. A normal house has just two "hot" wires. Be very careful when working inside a live panel, if you have any doubts, get an electrician.

No, no modification to the wires is necessary. Their instructions are pretty specific about how to install.

That's a big NO! They clamp over the wires and the power being used is induced magnetically to the CT's. You could severely hurt yourself or cause a short. Repeat, do NOT cut any wires in your panel.

NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Doing so will cause severe injury or death! The clips attach around the insulated main feeds.

Absolutely not. Do not remove the insulation. Very unsafe to do so. The instrument is designed to work by detecting current passing through the wires through any type of insulation.

no,just hook around the wire, or in the breaker box that u want to monitor the source of which appliance you want to monitol. do not remove the protective coating.

You need to bring in a white wire. Hopefully there is one in the box that you can tap off of.

You could but I wouldn't recommend. The wires may stick together and it could be difficult to remove because tape sticks real well to those kinds of surfaces. Tying up and concealing my wires worked for me.

I'm assuming you want to trim the plugs after they're installed. If that's the case, yes I would...very carefully.

You can either cap the wires or just cut the strip off with scissors or pliers at the last cut line before the 2 leads. It won't hurt a thing. I've done a decent number of led tape installs and am a licensed electrician. Hope this helps.

you have to use the clips the cable comes with. read the directions they are very informative.

It comes with quite a few plastic clips, only three of which can be stored in the unit. I turn on the unit and when heated take out the three clips and replace them with three more to heat. I use the original three, then the ones in the unit, replacing them with the cold clip till I am done.

If I remember right, the little white clips just snap onto the two wires you're trying to connect. They were tough to put on, sometimes.

Underneath the unit. There is a clip that the wires, including the sensor, attach to.

I spliced the wires together and used heat shrink covers. It's not exactly the best way to do it but the results were clean and safe.

You would have to first cut the clips off. Once you do that it will never clip on again.

I don't remember removing any from my unit before installing it, I would not. It's probably there to prevent residue from collecting on the sensing temperature probe.

Actually it's pretty easy. All you have to do is unscrew either the tip, or the part that's above the clip. I recommend just unscrewing the tip because it's easier.

There is a tiny tab that you have to push down when removing the wire from the battery. try using a pen to do so. It is located between the wire and where the metal clip connects.

Hmmm never had this happen to me. Do you steam the clip too before putting it on?

The clip is held to the material with two fairly flimsy rivets. You can cut the rivets with a small wire cutter very easily. That is what I did because I didn't want the clip either.

The clips are put on after you assemble the bike, you could just leave them off
