Stripping copper from a Washing Machine Motor?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but if not, can you please steer me in the right direction? What is the fastest and easiest way to strip copper off a washing machine motor please?

I'd post a picture up but it won't let me yet.



Basically, it is the type where there is copper wound around each individual rotor finger if that makes sense?

The way I was doing it, I managed to give myself some nice infected cuts on my fingers from repetitively winding it off.

Thanks.
