This Product is a Plastic Optical Fiber end face machining machine. The machine precisely process theplastic fiber end face with precision cutting technology. Please know that this machine “CAN NOTPROCESS Quartz Fiber”.

Ⅱ．For your Safety

Warning！
Please do not use or store in places where rain or water drops, places where corrosive gas or fluid exists,
places of high temperature or high humidity, or explosive atmosphere. It may cause fire, malfunction orelectric leakage.

Please replace attachment or cutter after turning power supply off, pulling out electric plug, and confirmingthat rotation of cutter stops. Otherwise, the main body operates which may cause injury.

Please be sure to implement processing operation after installing front face protection cover and back facecover. Otherwise, cutting powder scatters to damage eyes, and fingers may be caught by machine.

When abnormal deformation, noise, or vibration is found, or water splashes, please stop using and request us
to repair and/or inspect.

Caution！


Please do not insert object that is not made of plastic fiber for optical communication. It may cause
injury or malfunction.

Please be sure not to touch the cutter while it operates. Fingers may be caught, or other injuries mayoccur.

Please do not vibrate or drop. It may cause malfunction.

To connect AC adapter with the main body, please hold the plug of AC adapter. If code is forcibly
pulled, it may cause malfunction.



Please do not apply load on AC adapter by putting heavy object on it, and so forth. It may causemalfunction.



Please be sure to use with the power supply which is specified on the AC adapter.

Please do not disassemble, repair or modify the motor. It may cause electrification, injury or fire.

In unused condition, please turn off the power supply switch, and pull out the AC adapter from outlet.

１、Characteristics

By inserting the ferrule, or the plastic optical fiber that is attached to the connecter to the machine, it canprocess a cutting process to the end face of the optical fiber.
By changing the attachment (sold separately as an option) it can adapt to process various shaped ferrule
as well as connecters.
Also, by changing the cutter (sold separately), it can process the end face to various shapes.
In case you want to process the plastic fiber only, please contact us for details.
Material that can be processed: resin, plastic fiber for optical communication, brass, aluminum* Cutters are significantly damaged by materials not made of resin. Please consult with us for materials other than the above.

１、Operating Procedure※ For the standard types, the diamond cutter and attachment is initially installed to the machine
itself.
Please do check the positioning of the attachment, as it needs to be adjusted to the actual
processing position.
① Insert the plug for the AC adapter to the power source.
Also, insert the plug from the AC adapter to the POF body.

AC adapter code

The light is switched on.

② Press the power switch on.
The LED bracket will blink at the sametime.
③ The diamond cutter will start spinningand processing preparation will start.
④ Slowly insert the processing object(Ferrule or connecter attached POF) toPlug

the processing hole of the attachment
until it hits the end.
The processing is finished when you hit the end.
e.g ;At the time of two cores⑤ If the processing object has 2 ends, after processing as mentioned in ④, pull out thefinished end, turn the processing object 180°. And re-do the ④ processing. (It canonly be done one end at a time)

It is made to rotate
180 degrees.

It inserts to the back.

２ 、 Exchange of the diamond cutter, and how to adjust theprocessing postion.
Role of attachment…It locates the tip of diamond cutter and the end face of plastic fiber.
Role of diamond cutter…It cuts and processes the end face of plastic fiber.

２．１ How to remove the attachment
1) Romove the front protection cover as you can see in①

the picture on the right.
Unscrew the hexagonal screw that is screwed aroundthe holder. (size; M3)
2) Insert the hexagonal wrench (one of the accessories
included in the set) to the hole (b) and unscrew. (turn it(ｂ)counter-clockwise)※ 1 turn of the screw will move the attachment 0.5mm to either direction.

２．２ How to remove/attach the diamond cutter※Please be careful when handling the diamond cutter.

②

When removing the diamond cutter.
Remove the attachment as mentioned in 2.1..
1) Unscrew the screw as you see in the picture andremove the diamond cutter.

HolderWhen attaching the diamond cutter
1) Check the hexagonal screw is loosened as in picture②, and insert the diamond cutter inside.
When inserting the diamond cutter inside, make sure that the screw is touching the surface of thediamond cutter.
2) Screw on the detached attachment to the POF right before it hits the tip of the diamond cutter.
3) Screw on the hexagonal crew around the holder as in picture②(a) and tighten the position of theholder and the attachment.
Do not tighten the screw with too much power.

Method to remove cutting powder is different between cases when front face protection cover isattached and when it is not attached.
When it is attached, cutting powder of diamond cutter shall be removed during cutting operation,
and when it is not attached, cutting powder shall be removed after operation.

３－１ In case the POF is in cutting process
Prepated stat. (with the front protection coverAttached)
Insert the tip of the nozzle of the air-blower can
As you see in the picture and blow out the chipsby spraying in the air.
Insert the tip of the nozzle

３－２ In case the front protection cover is not
Attached.
※ Do not proceed with the cutting
Detach the screws

process in this stat.

・・・qty of screws ; 3pcs

１） Make sure the power switch is turned off and the AC adapter is safely removed when processing
this procedure.
２)

Detach the screws that are positioning the front

protection cover.・・・qty of screws ; 3pcs
３)Insert the nozzle of the air-blow canHolder

from the right side of the body as you see inthe picture and blow out the chips.
４)

Blow out the chips that are left in the bottom basesurface with the air-blow can.
５)Make sure this chip removing process is performed

somewhere else where there will be no problem with blowing
out the chips.

Ⅴ．Cautions when using the POF
Please do not insert anything else but plastic fiber ferrule, or plastic fiber with connecter
attached.

Please insert the plastic fiber continuously but slowly. Do not vigorously insert the plastic fiberto the POF.

The chip that is generated from the cutting process sometimes stick to the diamond cutter
itself.
Make sure to perform the air-blow cleaning process every once in a while.
(Roughly after processing about 500 times.)
