Re: Fiber splicers


Dust bubbles are just that, dust. Your machine needs to be impecably clean. Obviously don't use canned air because it will ruin your optics. You can us a soft brush or a squash bulb but for the most part you will just be moving the dust around. Lowes sells a micro fiting kit for your wet vac. It will make your machine look like new. No long sleave shirts. Try to avoid leaning over your machine too much when you wrap your fibers into the tray, move it out of the way. Here is the biggie, try wetting your kim wipe a little more than usual. When you are wiping you are creating static electricity. The wetter your wipe the less static. Your cleaver can be suspect too. How you load you cleaver can contribute to dust. On the 50S I like program 7. It works well with quality fiber. If you are using Prysmian or Draka (crap) Use program 2 and ark calibrate when your burns start going south. Hope this helps.
