3.0Fiber Stripping & Cleaving
3.1Open both covers on the cleaver. Move the blade
carriage to the front. Once per day, or whenever the cleaver gets dirty, clean the fiber groove, rubber pads and blade with the brush.
Note: Cleaver can be silver-colored or dark grey-colored.
3.2 | If working with cable, strip at least 230 mm (9 in.) |
|
| of cable jacket away to expose just 900 or 250 µm |
|
| coating. Holding the fiber stripper perpendicular |
|
| to the fiber, strip enough 900 or 250 µm coating |
|
| (minimum of 40 mm) to allow the fiber to extend |
|
| well beyond the second pad on the cleaver as shown |
|
| in Section 3.7. |
|
Note: Do not grip the fiber stripper with full strength, because it can damage the tool and weaken the fiber.
