Use a pair of tweezers equipped with cotton buds (or a similar tool) soaked
with alcohol, isopropyl or similar.
Press the tweezers together and clean the fiber with by moving the tweezers
from the fiber holder towards the end of the fiber
.
Repeat, but rotate the
tweezers. A “squeaking” sound indicates that the fiber is clean
Cleaving the fiber
Lift the lid of the cleaver and position the fiber holder in the cleaver. Insert the fiber holder
from above, a little from the right-hand side and let in slide back down into position (where
the magnets will lock it). The fiber holder must be placed tightly towards its inner position,
as far to the right as possible (check by pressing it gently). Magnets will move it in place.
