USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Read MSDS carefully prior to use.
1. Hold pen vertically and depress tip. Rub pen on
surface to be cleaned.
2. When using with a QbE® Cleaning System, pull one
QbE® wipe over the Fiber-Safe foam platen and depress
the pen tip onto the wipe to start liquid flow.
3. Apply a small amount (1" diameter) of ElectroWash® MX onto the wipe. Follow the Combination
Cleaning process (CCp™) as follows:
• Hold the end-face at 90º perpendicular to the
QbE® platen; allow the end-face to glide over
wipe. Remember to adjust for APC connections
• Draw the end-face lightly over the platen in a
smooth linear motion • Do not press too hard
• Do not retrace your cleaning procedure in the
same area • Do not use a figure-eight motion; do
not use a "twist & turn" motion • Check your
work with a fiber scope or measuring device
