4.04 Connect the power cord from the AC adapter to the stripper
handle. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
Note: An optional 6 volt battery and cord are available.
4.05 Arrange the fibers in the splice tray per tray instructions. Trim the
ribbon end so that it extends approximately 3/4" (19 mm) beyond
the center of the splice.
4.06 Insert the ribbon into the tube guide and position the ribbon so
that
1 1/4" to 1 1/2" (32 mm to 38 mm) of coating will be removed.
4.08 Heat the coating until it softens (usually 8 to 10 seconds at room
temperature). Slowly pull the ribbon straight out of the stripper.
The handles should remain closed until the ribbon is completely
out of the stripper.
Note: Do not keep the handles closed for more than 25 seconds
or the heating unit may become damaged.
Note: Heating time will vary with fiber type and ambient
temperature. If difficulty is experienced, refer to Section
12.
4.07 Close the handle on the stripper. This will activate the heating unit
which will soften the coating of the ribbon.
Note: The heating unit becomes hot. Use care when handling.
