Cutting Fiber
• Insert a 2.2-mm-dia. fiber into an E39-F4 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, insertion marks are inscribed on the fiber. The portion
from the tip up to the insertion marks should be inserted into the E3X-MA11.

• The cutting holes cannot be used twice. If the same hole is used twice, the cut-
ting face of the fiber will be rough and the sensing distance will be reduced.
Always use an unused hole.
Use either one of the two rightmost holes to cut a thin fiber as follows:
1, 2, 3... 1. An attachment is temporarily fitted to each thin fiber before shipment.

2. Secure the attachment after adjusting the position of it in the direction indi-
cated by the arrow.
3. Insert the fiber into the E39-F4 and cut.
