WARNING
The S178 passed the following test conditions:
Drop resistance
– 76cm drop from 5 different angles *. Water resistance – IPX2 rating drip proof (exposed to
3mm/min drip for 10 min with 15° tilt) *. Dust resistance
– IP5X rating dust proof (exposed to dust particles with a
diameter of 0.1 to 25µm for 8 hours) *
*Above tests were performed at Furukawa Electric Co,. Ltd laboratories and do not guarantee that the machine will not be damaged when
subjected to these conditions
.
The S943B Battery is made of Li-ion battery cells. Refer to following safety instructions on handling and
operating the Battery safely.
!
WARNING
Do not dispose the Battery in fire, or leave the Battery near a high-temperature object. Doing so may cause
fire or explosion.
Do not short-circuit the recharging connector or the output terminal for splicer. Doing so may cause fire by
generation of heat.
Charge the S943B Battery by the S958C Battery Charger. If charging by other equipment that is not
suitable for charging S943B, it may cause fire.
Avoid soaking the Battery with water. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not disassemble the Battery. Avoid damage by dropping or heavy shock. Doing so may cause fire or
electrical shock. If inner cells rupture and electrolytic solution leaks outside, it may cause inflammation to
your skin or eyes.
Disposal of used Battery must be carried out according to disposal established by Law. For instructions,
contact Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. or your local representative.

CAUTION
Do not place the fusion splicer on an unstable or inclined surface. There is a possibility that the fusion
splicer will fall and cause injury.
Disconnect all cords when moving the fusion splicer. Failure to do so may damage the cords which may
cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not place the cords around any heating instrument. Doing so may damage the cords which cause fire or
electrical shock.
Do not connect or disconnect cords with wet hands. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not pull the cord to disconnect. Doing so may damage the cords which may cause fire or electrical
shock. Hold the plug portion and disconnect the cord.
Do not put heavy items on the cords. Doing so may damage the cords which may cause fire or electrical
shock.
Do not modify the cords and do not over-bend, over-twist, or over-stretch the cords. Doing so may cause
fire or electrical shock.
Ensure that the cords are disconnected and the batteries are removed from machine
’s main body when
storing the fusion splicer.
Never use aerosol dust cleaners or alcohol-based solvents to clean the electrodes.
Non oil-based solvents should be used to clean the optical lenses.
Store the fusion splicer in a cool dry place.
