A cutting device is provided that cuts into the insulation to be removed perpendicular to the fiber. The retention device and the holder-bracket assembly can be adjusted in relation to each other, parallel to the fiber, during which the fiber is fixed in relation to the retention device, while the cut-off insulation is fixed in relation to the holder-bracket assembly.
