Cleave Fiber
Before you start:
Make sure the appropriate cleave tool positioner plate is being
used:
SMA
or
ST
Make sure the appropriate colored tension spring is being used:
200 µm = GREEN
Refer to diagram of the Cleave Tool.
Careful while handling the Cleave Tool. Handle as a precision
device and do not strike on hard surfaces or drop.
Keep the cleave tool clean and free from oils, including naturally
occuring finger oils. Gripper pads, diamond blade and anvil
should be cleaned after every 50 cleaves. Use the OFS Cleave
Tool Cleaning Kit — Part #P16247 - available separately.
Do not use alcohol to clean the diamond blade or the gripper pads.
Alcohol will chemically react with the gripper pads and ruin them.
Do not insert metal tools near the diamond blade, as it is fragile
and may chip.
