Safety Precautions 

Protective Eyewear 

To reduce the risk associated with eye injury: 
    - Safety glasses should be worn when handling chemicals and cleaving the optical fiber.

 

CAUTION 

Chemical Precautions 

To reduce the risk associated with fire: 
   - Storage, use and disposal of isopropyl alcohol should be per your company health, safety and environmental instructions. Refer to 
    material safety data sheet for health hazards, safe handling, proper use and control measures. 

WARNING 

Bare Fiber Handling 

To reduce the risk associated with handling sharp glass fibers: 
   - Cleaved glass fibers are sharp and can pierce the skin. Use tweezers when handling shards and dispose of them properly per your 
   company health and safety instructions. 

CAUTION 

Fiber/Cable Handling 

To reduce the risk associated with fiber damage: 
   - Optical fiber can be damaged by excessive tensile, compressive and bending forces. Consult the manufactures’ specifications for proper 
   handling instructions. 

NOTICE 

Laser Safety 

To reduce the risk associated with eye damage from exposure to laser light: 
   - Take the proper precautions when working with optical fiber because invisible laser light may be present. The principal laser 
   hazard when working with fiber optics is injury to the eye. Never look directly into the fiber or connector using the naked eye or a 
   microscope. 

CAUTION
