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 fi-
ber.
• 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 distance will be reduced. Always use an unused
hole.
• Cut a thin fiber as follows:
