Maintenance of Splicing Quality
2-2.
Rotating Cleaver Blade
If the cleaver does not cleave properly, rotate the blade 1/16th of a turn to replace the
worn out blade position with a sharp blade position. Blade life is normally 1000 cleaves
or 250 ribbon cleaves per blade position. To rotate the blade, do the following:
(1) Remove the blade cover.
(2) Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, remove the fiber scrap container box or the side cover.
(3) Push the slide button until it locks.
(4) Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, loosen the blade lock screw.
(5) Rotate the circular blade 1/16th of a turn.
(6) Tighten the blade lock screw.
(7) Attach the blade cover.
Blade Height Adjustment
After the circular blade has been rotated a complete revolution (16 positions), its height
needs to be adjusted to compensate for the wear.
(1) Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, remove the fiber scrap collector or the side cover.
(2) Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, loosen the blade lock screw.
(3) Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, loosen the adjuster lock screw.
(4) Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, turn the adjuster clockwise so that the reference dot
aligns with the next position mark. Never attempt to rotate the adjuster more than 2
position marks.
(5) Tighten the adjuster lock screw.
(6) Tighten the blade lock screw.
Blade Replacement
After the circular blade has been raised 3 times and rotated through all positions (a total
of approximately 48,000 fiber splices), it needs to be replaced. Contact your Fujikura
splicer distributor.
• When rotating the blade, do not touch the cutting edge. Move the blade with
a thin cotton swab, for easy and safe rotation.
• After blade height adjustment, the 16 blade positions can be used again. If the
cleaver does not cleave properly, rotate the blade.
