TWF2-FTT Fiber Termination Tool Adjustment Procedure

The TOTALWIRE™ TWF2 bers, with its patented integral 3M Polymer coating, is stronger and more bend insensitive than typical glass bers. The TWF2-FTT Termination Tool comes factory adjusted to cleave TWF2 ber.

2ea M2

Using the M2 Allen wrench included with

1. the cleaver, on the top right side remove the screw that secures the ber scrap box. Set the scrap box aside.

2ea T10

Loosen the two T10 guide screws with the

4. supplied wrench. Only approx. one turn is required, do not loosen completely.

7. does not successfully cleave repeat Blade UP steps A & B to increase blade height until a successful cleave is achieved, reassemble.

NOTE: If you are using a standard cleaver, perform the Blade UP steps listed above. To adjust your cleaver to cleave standard ber perform the Blade DOWN adjustments listed above until the cleaver no longer cleaves standard ber, followed by the Blade UP adjustment until a successful cleave is achieved.

1. TWF2 Fiber does not require the use of alcohol cleaning as the glass ber is not exposed being protected with TWF2 proprietary coating. Remove the soft peel coating completely from all sides of the ber with ngers only. Do not use strippers.

2. Due to the extreme durability and bend insensitivity of TWF2 ber, your cleaver may require a wheel height adjustment procedure to allow successful cleaving of TWF2 bers. For more information, please refer to the TWF2-FTT adjustment guide.
