NOTE:
• Do not touch the electrodes when cleaning.

Cleaning the Electrodes
1. Insert the electrode tip into the hole of the electrode polisher and gently rotate the
electrode.
2. Wipe the electrodes with 99% pure IPA. Do not touch the electrode surface with
your ngers.
3. Re-install the electrodes into the splicer.
4. Perform an arc calibration to calibrate the power to the electrodes.
General Fusion Splicer Cleaning (recommended daily)
• Use the cleaning brush only to clean debris from general working area, never on the
lenses, V-grooves, or mirrors.
• Periodically clean the ber adapters with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cotton
swab. Never touch the ber clamping area of the ber adapters.
Cleaning Fiber Cleaver 910CL (recommended daily)
Refer to Figure 5.
If the circular blade or clamp pads of the ber cleaver become contaminated,
the cleaving quality could degrade. This may lead to ber surface or end-face
contamination, resulting in higher splice loss. Clean the circular cleaving blade and
clamp pads with a lint-free cotton swab soaked with isopropyl alcohol.
