PURPOSE: To eliminate a harmful effect caused by a cutting waste, by providing not only a cutting means but also a collecting means of the cutting waste.
CONSTITUTION: A coating removed part 45 is made by only a suitable length of the tip of an optical fiber 44, it is inserted into a through-hole of a holding member 10, and the tip part of the coating removed part 45 is ruptured by a cutting machine 25. Even after the coating removed part 45 has been ruptured, an operating lever 38 moving in the direction A7 together with the holding member 10 by winding a wire 29 turns a press lever 34 in the direction A9, a press pump 32 is contracted in the direction A11 through a spring 35, and an engaged state of an engaged part 37 of the operating lever 38 and the press lever 34 is released. In this case, the press pump 32 being ion a contracted state is restored instantaneously in the direction A12 and operates a suction action, and this suction force reaches the through-hole of the holding member 10, and the through-hole and the inside of a cutting waste container 40 become a negative pressure, therefore, a cutting waste of the coating removed part 45 being in the through-hole is sucked into the cutting waste container 40 and collected.
