3.9 Close the cleaver clamp #1 ﬁrst. This process sets the

appropriate cleave length.

3.10 Close the cleaver clamp #2.

Note: Ensure there is no ﬁber bow between the two clamps. If there

is a bow, open both clamps and repeat steps 3.9 and 3.10.

3.11 For 250 µm ﬁber and tight buffer 900 µm ﬁber, the ﬁber

should be placed in the ﬁber holder tool groove which is

labeled “Tight buffer”. For semi-tight buffer ﬁber, it should

be placed in the groove labeled “Semi-tight buffer”. This

provides the proper clamping force on the 900 µm buffer.

3.12 Close the two covers and the clamp on the ﬁber holder.

The funnel cover will not close completely while in the

cleaver. Do not force or cover can break.

3.13 Depress cleave activation lever (#3) and hold it down until

clamp #2 slide assembly has fully moved to the right,

indicating that the angle cleave is complete.

Note: If ﬁber does not break immediately upon activation,

or it breaks so that the cleave length is not 8 mm,

then open clamps and carefully clean the cleaver

clamps with a brush and alcohol-soaked lint-free

cloth. Cut exposed ﬁber and strip, clean and cleave

again. If issues persist, rotate cleaver blade to the

next position using the supplied wrenches and

try again.

3.14 Open cleaver clamp #1 and remove ﬁber holder and ﬁber

from cleaver.

Note: Do not open activation lever after cleaving until ﬁber

holder and ﬁber have been removed.
