IMPORTANT SAFTY PRECAUTIONS
7. Check the voltage of AC power before use. The AC adapter should be grounded
to earth. If voltage or frequency beyond the range stated flows in the AC
adapter, a safety and protective device to prevent danger is activated and the
AC adapter will stop. In that case, a new AC adapter should be purchased.
Please contact our qualified service personnel.
8. Charge the battery pack within the following temperature range. Failure to do
so may lead to deterioration in performance.
*Battery pack’s required temperature range: 0°C ~ +40°C
9. Before using the battery pack for the first time, charge it.
10. The battery pack is consumables. Repeated charging and discharging
decreases battery life.
11. Store the battery pack within the following temperature range. Failure to do so
may lead to deterioration in performance.
*Battery pack storage temperature range: -20°C ~ +50°C (if stored for less
than 1 months) -20°C ~ +40°C (if stored for less than 3 months) -20°C ~
+20°C (if stored for less than 1 year)
12. Charge the battery pack fully before storing it for a prolonged period.
13. Even if you are not going to use the battery pack for a prolonged period, charge
it once every 6months.
14. If you are getting fewer than splice cycles per fully charged battery, consider
replacing the battery pack by a new one.
15. When disposing of the battery pack, contact our qualified service personnel or
follow the local regulations.
16. Although bright spots or dark spots may appear on the screen, this is a unique
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and such do not constitute or imply a
machine defect.
17. We recommend your splicer to be annually over-hauled to keep it in good
condition.
18. Glass fiber fragments are extremely sharp. Handle with care.
19. Turn off the splicer before maintenance work. Failure to do so can cause electric
shock.
20. Be sure to remove moisture, alcohol or dust on the heater element with a dry
cotton swab.
21. Only use Sumitomo genuine electrodes (ER-10). Failure to do so can cause the
splicer to malfunction.
22. Do not clean the electrode. Doing so can cause unstable arcing performance.
23. Storing and transporting the splicer with the battery pack installed can cause
the battery pack to be damaged or deteriorated, resulting in fire. Remove the
battery pack from the splicer before storage.
24. Transporting the splicer with fiber holders loaded can cause the V-grooves or
clamps to be damaged, resulting in the failure of splice. Remove the fiber
holders from the splicer before storage.
25. Ensure that the strap should be completely secured.
26. Whenever you use the strap rings, be sure to hold the splicer with your hand.
Failure to do so can cause the splicer to turn over and accessories such as fiber
holder will drop.
