Jva dl 0 The fiber ends are so sharp that they will cut the V grove clean from any dirt which might have fallen into it Most likely You will see some very small items dirt which will attach to the fiber during this procedure see dirt on the fiber ends in the picture below After finishing don t use these fiber ends for splicing as they are worn down Strip clean cleave new fibers when ready Apart from the method above You can also clean the V grove with a cotton bud with alcohol isopropyl Preferably the combination of both methods should be used 21 Cleaning the electrodes The electrodes of the splicer are sensitive and can get a bit oxidized due to moisture dirt etc in the air Therefor we recommend that the user always clean the electrodes before starting a new work before performing a Calibrate The function is found in the Menu system CLEAN ELECTRODES and it should be run some 3 5 times for best performance The EasySplicer will also every 10 splice ask the user to clean the electrodes This is suggested only as a precaution but running the CLEAN ELECTRODES function will keep the splicer fresh and free from problems Under some circumstances it might be that the electrodes get so oxidized that the CLEAN ELECTRODES function wont be able to fully burn off the oxidation and the problems remain If so take for ex a sharp carpet knife or razor blade and scratch gently on the surface of the electrodes on th
