Battery or AC adapter operated, 4 ft. wire leads are connected to either a 6-V battery or AC adapter.

B. Cutter Blade Set

Selected for each ribbon or fiber size. Opposing blades self align around fiber guide to assure concentric scoring scoring and precision-stripped , nick free fiber. Blades travel in a straight line to assure proper allignment. Color coded to match fiber guide lock.

C. Fiber Guide Lock

Holds fiber guide securely in position. Color-coded to match blade sets.

D. Stripping Force

This is applied longitudinally with the fiber. The chance of harmful drag of fiber against to blade is eliminated, even with operator inattention of fatigue.

 E. Fiber Guide
