Using the Fujikura IBC Cleaning Tool

To operate the cleaning tool, complete the following steps for each ferrule:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to an ESD connection socket

or a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Place the proper adapter over the ferrule, as described in this guide. Each type of connector uses a

different adapter. The adapter ensures that the cleaning tool is inserted at the correct angle and depth for

cleaning.

Step 3 Insert the cleaning head into the adapter so that the cleaning surface sits flush against the ferrule. Align

the key with the matching notch in the adapter slot.
