Safety Precautions
•
Please read and follow all fusion splicer manufacturer recommended procedures concerning splicing operation and
precautions.
•
Safety glasses should be worn when handling cleaved fibers. Cleaved fibers are sharp and can pierce eyes, skin or
clothing.
•
Never look into the end of a microscope or optical cable connected to an operating optical output device. Laser radiation
is invisible, and direct exposure can severely injure the human eye.
Note:
Before starting this process, completely read through the entire installation document. If the splice machine you are
using has a tensile test option, be sure to shut this option off on your machine.
Step 2:
Separate all the parts and identify the parts
you will be using for your application.
