2) Close both main body and fiber adaptor lids and push the
lid release lever until it stops. By pushing it completely,
the blade will slide to cleave the fiber and send the loose
fiber to the waste bin automatically, and the lid will be
automatically opened.
Tip
：
Slide the sliding blade slowly to prolong the blad
e life.
!
ATTENTION
：
During cleaving operation, please do
not touch " Lid " and " Pinch roller lid ".
3) Open both main body and fiber adaptor lids and remove
the fiber from the unit.
5.2. Disposing of waste fiber
Dispose of waste fiber as follows after completion of work
and before transporting the unit.
1) Grab the sides of the waste bin box with fingers and pull
it out.
2) Grasp the left and right upper corners of waste bin with
fingers and open the lid while squeezing lid lightly.
Turn waste bin box upside down and dispose of the
waste fiber into a designated trash can.
Do not put finger inside of waste bin because pieces of
the optical fiber sometimes will remain in waste box after
emptying it.
Put back waste bin box to original position after disposing
the waste fiber.
!
ATTENTION
：
When inserting waste bin box into main
body, press waste box until click is heard.
6. Blade Maintenance and Rotation of blade
The blade has 24 positions printed on the side of the blade
(i.e. “0
･
2
･
…
･
22
･
”). Each position can be used to 2,000
times. However, cleaving amount may be decreased with
dust or oil contamination. When cleaving quality degrades,
clean the top of blade and upper and lower bending pad
with a cotton swab soaked with ethyl alcohol.
If this does not help, that means it is time to rotate the
blade( see below).
!
ATTENTION
：
Do not use Organic solvent on rubber (e.g.
Acetone).
!
ATTENTION
：
Please note 2,000 cleaves per position is
not guaranteed. The number of cleaving changes
depending on the situation and environment (e.g. dust and
oil.)
If operation above does not improve the cleave quality, the
blade needs to be rotated. Follow the procedures below to
rotate the blade.
1) Remove the waste bin from the main body. Loosen the
blade set screw using the attached hexagon ranch.
2) Use a cotton swab, etc. to rotate the blade, so that the number shown at the top of the
