Re-install shipping screw if shipping
or transporting the fibersect.
Hand-tighten only.
Press and hold Start Button to
turn on the fibersect and release
when the READY Light turns red.
The READY Light will then turn
green, indicating that it’s ready
for use. The fibersect will turn
off after ten minutes if not used.
Hold the epoxied ferrule or connector
at its base and carefully insert it into
the Adapter Hole as far as it will go.
Hold the ferrule or connector gently in
place and initiate the cut by pressing
the Start Button and then releasing
it. The light will then turn yellow,
indicating a cut is taking place. The cut
can take from 1-4 seconds depending
on the hardness and amount of epoxy.

As shipped, the installed adapter will
cut at approximately 100-200 µm from
the face of the ferrule. This distance
can be adjusted over a wide range;
a distance of 50-100 µm is
recommended.
Use the Ring Adjust Tool by engaging
its two protruding pins in the matching
holes of the Adjusting Ring. Rotate the
Adjusting Ring clockwise to cut closer to the ferrule face, counterclockwise to
cut further away. Each calibration mark on the Adjusting Ring represents a 25 µm
distance. The cut distance can be set between calibration marks for an even finer
adjustment.
Some Single Fiber adapters require
specific orientation in order to cut
properly. For all necessary adapter
orientations, see User Information:
Connector and Ferrule Adapters .
After adjusting for cutting distance,
use the Adapter Extention to
re-orient the Adapter Hole to the
proper position.
Adapters can be easily changed to
accomodate different ferrules or
connectors.
Change the Adapter by first
removing the two hex head screws.
Mount the new Adapter and secure
it with the two screws.

8Additional InformationAdditional Information
For non-vacuum models,
periodically check the Waste
Bin, and when necessary, safely
dispose of its contents.
Always empty the Waste Bin
before shipping or transporting
the bersect.
Keep the fibersect connected to a power outlet during continuous
use to keep the battery charged. For batch processing and where
portability is useful, the fibersect can be run on battery power.
Running on battery power alone, the fibersect has a capacity of 400+
cuts. the BATT Light will flash blue when the battery requires charging.
If cutting is continued, eventually the fibersect will cease to operate,
indicated by a flashing red light. The battery requires approximately
4 hours to fully charge. Once fully charged, the BATT Light will be solid
blue.
The fibersect must be adjusted to cut through fibers completely
encased in hardened epoxy. Set the adapter cut length so the fibersect
does not cut through the ferrule. Cutting the ferrule will reduce the saw
lifetime.
Fibers should protrude no more than 7 mm from the face of the ferrule.
Under no circumstances should the top or bottom cover of the fibersect
be removed or adjustments made. Doing so will void the warranty.
