SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
— WARNING—
Risk of serious eye damage! Never look into the end of a fiber optic line or use a magnifier in the presence of laser light or radiation.
Exercise caution when installing, testing or maintaining live circuits. If eyes are exposed to laser light or radiation occur s,
immediately seek treatment by a medical professional.
— WARNING —
Cable and fiber cleaning solvents may contain hazardous or harmful materials. Maintain good housekeeping practices and refer to
the MSDS when working with cleaning solvents or similar products.
Shards and cleaved glass fibers are very sharp and can easily pierce the skin. Use tweezers to pick up cut glass fibers and place
them in a specifically designated container. Do not consume any food products near the cable installation site.
Corrugated metal or armor in feed cables is very sharp when cut or exposed. Exercise extreme caution to prevent personal injury.
Use protective work gloves when handling armored cable.
— CAUTION —
Perform all bonding and grounding prior to making any electrical and communications connections.
Be careful not to damage any buried cables or service wires while digging either to expose cables or to prepare a hole or trench, or
while driving stakes. Buffer tubes and fibers are sensitive to excessive bending, pulling, and crushing forces. To avoid kinking of
buffer tubes and fiber damage or breakage, exercise great care when working with fiber, and do not exceed or violate minimum
bend radius requirements for fibers, buffer tubes, and cables.
