9.BUFFER REMOVAL

With the modified No-Nik tool's arrow pointing in the direction of the stripping, remove the fiber's buffer in small bites, about 3/16" (5 mm).

Be sure to remove the stripped material from the tool after each incremental cut. When stripping the last increment, the end of the stripping collar should gently rest against the fiber guide inside of the clearance hole of the No-Nik (Fig. B7). This will ensure the correct

10.9/16"CLEAN(14THEmm)FIBERbufferWITHlengthALCOHOLremaining.

With the collar still in place, moisten a lint free cloth with isopropyl alcohol from the bottle and wipe the fiber clean (Fig. B8). Make sure there is absolutely no buffer residue or dirt on the fiber by holding it to a light and inspecting for a smooth shiny surface. If necessary, wipe the fiber a second time to be sure that it is clean.

11.REMOVE THE STRIPPING COLLAR

Remove the stripping collar and position the cut Kevlar so that it is evenly distributed around the buffer. At this time, verify the strip length dimensions. It is very important that the exposed buffer measures 9/16" (14 mm) from the end of the cut jacket as shown in Fig. B9. (Figure not to scale). Confirm all dimensions using the ruler provided (Fig. B10).

12.PROTECT PREPARED FIBERS

Clip the cable in the curing stand where the fiber end will not touch anything (Fig. B11). When mounting more than one connector, prepare all fiber ends before mixing the epoxy.
