Abstract
A slider is attached to a cutter main body of an optical fiber cutter in a forward/backward movable state. A round blade member for making a scratch in an optical fiber is attached to the slider in a rotatable state. An operation lever pin for changing over rotation operation modes from one to another is attached to one end side of a pin member which penetrates a wall of the cutter main body. The rotation operation modes include a non-rotation mode for preventing the round blade member from being rotated and a continuous rotation mode for rotating the round blade member by a predetermined angle with every backward movement of the slider.

An optical fiber cutter for cutting an optical fiber, comprising:
- a cutter main body having a fiber guide that positions the optical fiber;
- a slider attached to the cutter main body in a movable state;
- a round blade member attached to the slider in a rotatable state and arranged to make a scratch in the optical fiber;
- round blade rotating means that rotates the round blade member;
- and
- rotation operation mode setting means that sets any one of a plurality of rotation operation modes including a first mode of restricting rotation of the round blade member, and a second mode of rotating the round blade member by a predetermined angle by the round blade rotating means with every movement of the slider in one direction relative to the cutter main body.
