4.7 Holding the cleaver as shown in Figure 6, push down on the

cleaver cover with a slow and gentle motion until the fiber is

cleaved.

4.8 Remove the cut end of the fiber with tweezers and put it on

the loop of tape.

4.9 After completing use of the cleaver, properly dispose of the

tape loop holding the cut fiber ends.

5. Cleaver Maintenance

IMPORTANT: Most cleaver problems can be

prevented through proper cleaning on a regular

basis. Debris in the mechanism will result in poor

performance.

Cleaver Cleaning

5.1 After each day's use, clean the guides, clamping pads,

cutting blade, and anvil of the FBC-005 cleaver as follows:

(a) Clean the clamping pads by inserting a cleaning strip

soaked in alcohol between the pads and pressing down

on the cleaver to close them. Pull the strip from between

the pads (Figure 7). Repeat this step several times.

Repeat this step several times with a clean, dry strip.

Complete the cleaning by blowing the pads with

compressed air.

Cleaning of the anvil and clamping pads may be followed

by polishing. Polishing these components is recommend-

ed if a number of fibers have broken between the clamps.

Repeat the cleaning steps above, substituting a dry (no

alcohol) 3 mm or finer lapping film, to polish both the

upper and lower fiber clamps and the anvil. Then repeat

with a dry paper strip to remove any residue.Polishing

may performed on a weekly or as-needed basis.

(b) To clean the diamond cutting blade, insert a cleaning

strip soaked in alcohol between the anvil and the cutting

blade. Lift the cleaning strip up to the blade and brush

along and down the blade at an angle.

Complete the cleaning by blowing the blade with

compressed air.

dirt, etc. Repeat steps a and b if necessary.

Lubricating the FBC-005

5.2 The FBC-005 should be lubricated every three months and

before extended periods of storage. Lubrication on a regular basis

will help assure you high quality fiber end-cuts with each use of

the cleaver. The cleaver may be used during the lubrication pro-

cedure.

CAUTION: Do not apply oil or grease anywhere other

than the pivot pin. Lubricants attract dust and dirt which may

adversely affect the performance of your precisely machined fiber

cleaver.

5.3 Place one drop of synthetic oil (P/N FBC-005-02) on each

side of the pivot pin (Figure 8).

Figure 8

5.4 Press the cleaver cover down about ten (10) times, and

place another drop of oil on both sides of the pivot pin.

5.5 Wipe off all excess oil from the outer body of the cleaver.
