Basic Operation

Use "Fiber hold lever", when you make splice which θ unit drives. It
prevents the fiber from snagging and cutting.
• Observe fiber position in the V-groove. The fiber should rest in the bottom
of the V-groove. Reload the fiber holder if it does not rest property.
• Care should be taken to prevent damage or contamination of the fiber
end-face. Fiber end-face contact on any item including the V-groove bottom
may result in poor quality splices.
• The fiber end-face should rest between the V-groove tip and electrode
centerline. It is not necessary that the fiber end-face be exactly at the
midpoint.
