Safety
WARNING
The filament in the glass processor furnace generates intense light when it is in operation. It is
strongly advised that the user does NOT look directly at it during splicing or tapering operations.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE
The furnace gets extremely hot when the filament is turned on. Do not touch the furnace during or
immediately after the filament has been on for a few seconds, such as after a splice or tapering
operation.
WARNING
The fiber handlers and the splice head can exert a fair amount of force as they move from side to side.
Do not put your fingers between them, or between the fiber handlers and the slot end walls, while the
machine is in operation
.
DANGER
The camera tower on the glass processors can generate a fair amount of force as it moves forward
and backward, and up and down. Do not put fingers between it and the furnace or mirror tower while
the machine is in operation.
CAUTION
Be sure your electrical power and gas supplies meet the criteria detailed in the Chapter 9.
