Termination Instructions

NOTE:
Be careful not to touch the HCS fiber
coating once the fiber has been stripped.
The coating will retain finger oils which
can transfer to and damage the gripper
pads in the cleaver during Step 9 in the
termination process.

Strip Fiber Buffer
Before you start:
Be careful while handling the FIBER STRIPPER. Handle as a
precision device and do not strike on hard surfaces or drop.
Be sure to clean blades frequently using small bristle brush
supplied.
IMPORTANT: Pull straight when stripping the fiber buffer.
The HCS fiber cladding can be damaged if fiber is not pulled
straight.
• Separate buffered fiber from yellow
aramid yarn by pulling yarn back
along the cable.
!
NOTE:
If unable to insert buffered fiber through
guide tube, trim tip of the fiber using
scissors.
NOTE:
If a short length of cable is being termi-
nated, wrap the cable around your hand
to prevent fiber and aramid yarn from
pulling out of cable.
