Flat Drop Fiber Optic Jacket Removal Tool Operation Instructions

1. Separate any locating wire from the cable before using the fiber drop stripper.
2. Turn the knob counterclockwise all the way to open the fiber drop stripper.
3. Insert the cable into the tool using the proper stripping channel marked A or B
4. Turn the knob clockwise and tighten until you can no longer tighten the screw.
5. Start the cable preparation by pulling the tool straight toward you. With some cables after pulling, you may have to re-tighten the screw on the fiber drop stripper again. Pull the tool to shave off the top and lower layer of the jacket using the A or B blades at the top and bottom of the fiber drop stripper.
6. The cable is now slit, and the fiber can now be accessed by separating the two jacket halves.
