The invention belongs to the technical field of cable stripping, and particularly relates to a zero position reference regulation method for a stripper based on a zero position reference regulation device. The zero position reference regulation device comprises the following composition parts including a zero position reference slide plate, a cuter depth regulation slide block, a press plate, a cutter depth regulation threaded seat, an elastic compression damping element, a cutter depth regulation screw bolt and a rotating sleeve. The zero position reference regulation method comprises the following steps of (1) a zero position reference correction step, (2) a zero position finding step, and (3) an absolute cutter feeding amount regulation step. The self-adaptive regulation function of thecutter feeding amount of a cutter can be flexibly realized by aiming at the diameter of a current cable to be clamped. The goal of consistency regulation of the cutter feeding amount and the practically required cutter feeding depth of the cable can be further realized, so that the effect of regulating the absolute cutter feeding depth is achieved; and the practical peeling efficiency of the cable can be greatly improved.
