Basic Operation
3. Detach the fiber adaptor from CT08 cleaver.
Lift the Lever until it stops. The blade is automatically set at the start position and is now
ready to cleave the fiber.
4. Insert the Fiber holder into the cleaver. Check to ensure only bare fiber sits on the pads (not
jacket or coating). Adjust the fiber position or prepare it again if necessary.
5. Close by gently pushing down on the Lever until it stops. The blade automatically moves
and the fiber is cleaved.
Lift the Lever until it stops and remove the fiber from the cleaver.
Be careful not to touch the fiber to anything, as this can contaminate the end-face of the
fiber.
Confirm the sheath of fiber is not on pad when fiber holder is used.
Do not put fingers in the cleaving area as personal injury may result.
