Safety Information
The fusion splicer is designed for splicing Silica-based optical fibers for
telecommunications. Do not attempt to use this machine for other
applications Fujikura Ltd. gives much consideration and regard to personal
injury and any damages. Misuse of the machine may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury and any damages.
Read and understand
all safety instructions.

WARNINGS!
Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC adapter inlet or the wall
socket (outlet) immediately if user observes the following or if the
fusion splicer receives the following faults:
• Fumes, bad smell, noise, or over-heat occurs.
• Liquid or foreign matter falls into cabinet.
• Fusion splicer is damaged or dropped.
If this occurs, ask our service center for repair. Leaving the fusion
splicer in a damaged state may cause equipment failure, electric
shock or fire and may result in personal injury, death or fire.
AC adapter which be used for a fusion splicer is only an adapter for
exclusive use.
Using an improper AC power source may cause fuming, electric
shock or equipment damage and may result in personal injury, death
or fire.
Use the supplied AC power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the
AC power cord. Use of an improper cord or a damaged cord may
cause fuming, electric shock or equipment damage and may result in
personal injury, death or fire.
Do not disassemble or modify the fusion splicer, AC adapter or
battery. In particular, do not remove or bypass any electrical or
mechanical device (e.g. a fuse or safety switch) incorporated into the
design and manufacturing of this equipment. Modification could
cause damage that may result in personal injury, death, electric shock
or fire.
Never operate the fusion splicer in an environment where flammable
liquids or vapors exist. Risk of dangerous fire or explosion could
result from the fusion splicer’s electrical arc in such an environment.
Do not use compressed gas or canned air to clean the fusion splicer.
They may contain flammable materials that could ignite during the
electrical discharge.
Do not touch the electrodes when the fusion splicer is on and power
is supplied to the unit. The electrodes generate high voltage and high
temperatures that may cause a severe shock or burn.
Note Arc discharge stops when wind-protector is open. Turn the
fusion splicer off and disconnect the AC power cord before replacing
electrodes.
Safety glasses should always be worn during fiber preparation and
splicing operation. Fiber fragments can be extremely dangerous if it
comes into contact with the eye, skin, or is ingested.
