<p>An optical fiber cutter is provided, which can improve workability when performing an operation while either being held with a hand or placed on a workbench. The optical fiber cutter 1 comprises a cutter base 3 and a cutter lid 4 attached openably and closably to the cutter base 3. A slider 8 having a blade member for incising an optical fiber is attached to the cutter base 3 so as to be movable widthwise. A switching plate 15 is attached to a rear end part of the cutter base 3, while a switcher 16 is provided on the outer surface side of the switching plate 15. When the switcher 16 is at a first position, the cutter lid 4 engages a stopper, thereby attaining an opening angle of 35°. When the switcher 16 is at a second position, the engagement between the cutter lid 4 and the stopper is released, whereby the cutter lid 4 attains an opening angle of 70°.</p> |
