8.2. Inspecting the Cleave Blade
The diamond edge of the Cleave Blade should be inspected daily for debris and/or damage which may result in
sub-optimal cleave performance. For easier inspection and cleaning, the
Blade Service tool may be selected from
the Handset Controller tools (Section 7.5.3). This function will move the Cleave Blade to the forward (cleave)
position.
Note: Before selecting Blade Service , make sure to remove any fiber or discard pieces from the FHBs to
prevent possible damage to the Cleave Blade and retract the Micrometer Backstop.
Figure 38 Cleaning the Cleave Blade
The Cleave Blade should be cleaned using a cotton-tipped swab wetted with acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Wipe
both sides of the blade in a back-to-front direction, towards and over the diamond edge, using very light pressure
only. Never touch the edge of the Cleave Blade with any hard or metal object. For very loose debris, the Cleave
Blade may also be cleaned by blowing clean (canned) air across the edge.
WARNING
Use great care when working near or handl
ing the Cleave Blade, as the diamond tip is “knife edge”
sharp and can very easily cut through skin.
Note: Closing the Blade Service tool will return the Cleave Blade to its home position.
