Loading fiber into the cleaver
1.
Place the fiber in the v-groove of the fiber holder, the fiber should extrude as shown on the image below. Place the two
magnetic lids on the fiber holder base plate to fix the fiber in the holder.
1. Coated fiber
3. Cleaver blade
2. Coating edge
4. Height adjuster
For the cleaver to work properly the loaded fiber must have correct length. An inappropriate length will cause
incorrect cleaving and can in the worst case damage the clamping parts.
2.
Strip and clean the fiber. Make sure the stripped part of the fiber is minimum 4 mm to the left of the cleaver blade when the
fiber is loaded into the cleaver.
