EQUIPMENT USE WARNINGS

v      Do not attempt to use or operate this equipment before reading the instruction manual. Read and follow all safety instructions and cautions contained in the manual and those set forth by your company.

v      This splicer is designed to fusion splice telecommunications optical fiber (glass). Do not attempt to splice any material other than telecommunications optical fibers (glass).

v      Safety glasses should always be worn during fiber preparation and splicing process. A glass fiber fragment can be extremely dangerous, if it comes into contact with the eye or skin.

v      Spilled solvents or alcohol based liquids present a fire hazard.

v      Never operate splicer in an environment where flammable liquids or vapors exist. An extremely dangerous fire and explosion could result from the splicers electrical are in such an environment.

v      Dangerous electrical voltages are present during the operation of this equipment. Failure to properly maintain the equipment can result in personal injury or equipment damage.

v      The splicer cover panels and or any electrically operated accessories should never be opened or removed except by factory personnel.

v      Maintenance should only be performed by factory personnel, except the replacement of electrodes and fuse.

v      Only authorized replacement parts should be used on this equipment.

v      Never use a canned air type cleaner to remove dust or clean the splicer. The splicer’s electrical arc can ignite any remaining gas mixture.

v      During discharging the electrodes generate a very high voltage. Never touch the electrodes. Make sure no water or liquid is present on the splicer. Failure to observe and comply with these conditions can result in personal injury and or equipment damage.

v      Turn the power switch off before installing or removing the power units (battery, AC/DC adopter or battery adapter), or connecting or removing the power cord from the AC/DC adapter. Failure to comply could result in personal injury and or equipment damage.

v      Failure to apply the proper voltages to the machine may result in personal injury or equipment damage.

v      The tube heater generates a high temperature during the “HEAT” cycle. Do not open the cover during the “HEAT” cycle and allow sufficient time for the splice protector sleeve to cool before removing.
