2)Set fiber
Press the fiber holding level down and insert the clean fiber into the fiber holding level once more to relieve torsional stress.
3)Scoring
Lightly and slowly press down on the blade box to nick the fiber , The blade must be used gently in order to provide a good cleave. Slowly release blade box -only score the fiber once.
4)Cleaving
Carefully bend the leaf spring down while continuing to hold the fiber. Bend the leaf spring just enough to separate the fiber , over bending can damage the spring .Release the fiber hold level and dispose of the fiber stub .
