How to use fiber cleaver correctly?

TFC-55 optical fiber cleaver adopts high strength tungsten steel refining blade, flat cutting surface, cutting angle ≤0.5 degrees, and the cutting blade service life up to 48000 times, enough to meet the needs of optical fiber cutting.
Here, TAWAA takes you to understand the correct use of cleaver
1、Use CFS-3 Miller pliers to peel off the fiber coating and gently wipe off the stripped part with a clean paper dipped in alcohol;
2、Place the fiber on the clamp and cover (note that the fiber is placed in the appropriate size slot);
3、 Cover the upper cover and push the slide, that is, the cutting is complete;
4、 When opening the fixture, take out the fiber, be careful not to damage the end face of the fiber, and put the waste fiber in the waste bin;
5、 When you don't use the fiber-optic cutter for a long time, you should try to ensure that the cover is closed.
However, in the actual working conditions, it is not so smooth, often because of the uneven cutting of optical fiber and other reasons, the welding loss is large or can not be welded. So what is the reason for the uneven fiber cutting? It's not just the cutting process, it's also the cleaver itself.
1、The blade is too high. Treatment: Reduce blade height;2、The upper and lower pads do not match. Treatment measures: replace the pad, adjust the position of the upper pressure plate, magnet position;
3、The slider wobbles or is not horizontal. Treatment: Adjust or replace slider;
4、Blade ageing. Treatment: Replace blade cutting section or blade。
