Fine adjustment wheel

Coarse adjustment wheel

1.4

The coarse adjustment setting is obtained from either Table 1

or the plastic gauge supplied with the tool. The coarse setting is the

recommended starting point and has been chosen such that the blades

will score the central tube, but not penetrate it. When turned, each

click of a coarse wheel adjusts its respective blade depth in 0.2 mm

increments.

NOTE: The coarse blade adjustment wheels have over 360° of rotation,

which results in both a "Raised A position" (a backed-out,

shallow blade position) and a "Bottomed A position" (all the way

in, or deepest cutting position) (Figure 2, inset).

The fine adjustment wheels are used to dial in the blade to the desired

depth of cut, providing +/-0.15 mm of blade depth adjustment. The fine

adjustment wheels are labeled "+" and "-", but are not indexed like the

coarse adjustment.

Factors such as tube curvature, variation in cable geometry, and wall

thickness will affect the depth of cut; therefore, a couple of "trial runs"

may be required to "dial in" the desired cutting depth.

NOTE: Top and bottom blade height adjustment assemblies are not

interchangeable. The assembly marked T is the top half of the

tool and the assembly with B is the bottom half of the tool.

1.5

Follow the instructions for the closure or terminal being

installed to determine the length of sheath to remove and the length

of buffer tube to be opened.

IMPORTANT:

The cable/fiber lengths shown in this procedure are for

illustrative purposes only; the lengths required for any

particular terminal or closure may vary.
