An example shows use of Sumitomo FC-6M fiber cleaver. Please read the FC-6M 
operation manual before use. If you use another fiber cleaver, please refer to its 
operation manual. 

Standard cleave length: 10mm     

1-1: Open the coating clamp lid and the top 

clamp lever. The blade carriage should 
be in the forward position. 

Blade carriage

2: 

2-1: Place the fiber holder in the 

FC-6M. (Touch the edge of 
the fiber holder against the 
FC-6M.)  
* Keep the fiber in the fiber 
holder after stripping the 
fiber coating/cleaning the 
bare fiber. 

3: 

3-1: Lower the top clamp lever. Slide the blade carriage to the rear of the cleaver 

as indicated by the arrow.
