Cutting Fiber
Insert a fiber into the Fiber Cutter and determine the length of the
fiber to be cut.
Press down the Fiber Cutter in a single stroke to cut the fiber.
When the fiber is cut, an insertion mark is inscribed on the fiber.
For a 2.2-mm dia. standard fiber only.

2.2-dia.
Insert a fiber into the Fiber Cutter in the direction indicated by the
arrow (refer to the following figure).

Connection
Do not pull or press the Fiber Units. The Fiber Units have a with-
stand force of 1 kg or 3 kg (pay utmost attention because the fibers
are thin).
Do not bend the Fiber Units beyond the permissible bending radius.
Do not bend the edge of the Fiber Units.

The cutting holes cannot be used twice. If the same hole is used
twice, the cutting face of the fiber will be rough and the sensing dis-
tance will be reduced. Always use an unused hole.
Use either one of the two holes on the right (refer to the following
figure) to cut a thin fiber as follows:
1. An attachment is temporarily fitted to a thin fiber before
shipment.
Temporarily fitted
2. Secure the attachment after adjusting the position of it
in the direction indicated by the arrow.
3. Insert the fiber into the E39-F4 to cut.

Note: Insert the fiber in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Do not apply excess force on the Fiber Units.
