Warnings and Precautions

1. Warnings

Do not remove or modify fusion splicer, AC adapter or battery without authorization, especially do not remove or bridge any electronic or mechanical part inside the device (fuse or safety switch) . Any wrong maintenance may result in damage to fusion splicer, or even electric shock, fire, personal injury or death.

1.1. Electrical safety warning

Use genuine battery of fusion splicer only. The use of non-genuine batteries may pose safety risks, including circuit burn and battery spontaneous combustion, it may even cause fire, personal injury, or death. (Note: If there is any battery leakage, bulge or other unusual phenomena, the battery should be immediately be put into fire/explosion-proof box.)

Battery must avoid high temperatures, fire and direct sunlight. High temperature, fire, and direct sunlight may cause battery spontaneous combustion, which may even cause fire, personal injury, or death.

Do not use the battery after it is soaked in water. Soaking a battery may cause battery spontaneous combustion, which may even cause fire, personal injury, or death.

Use genuine adapter of splicer only. The use of non-genuine adapters has safety risks, including but not limited to electric shock, circuit burning, battery spontaneous combustion, and can even cause fire, personal injury, or death.

The adapter must use a stable AC power with voltage range in 100~240V and frequency range in 50~60Hz. Improper power supply may cause safety risks, including but not limited to adapter burn, electric shock, circuit burn, battery spontaneous combustion, and ,ay even cause fire, personal injury, or death. (Note: Voltage and frequency should be tested before using the alternator to ensure that the output voltage and frequency meet the requirements to avoid power safety risks.)

1.2. Environment safety warnings

Do not use fusion splicer near inflammable or explosive articles. Fusion splicer discharge will ignite flammable and explosive objects, resulting in fire or explosion.

Do not use fusion splicer in high dust environment. A discharge from fusion splicer will detonate combustible dust.

1.3. Operation safety Warning

Do not touch fusion splicer, AC power cord, or AC power plug when your hands are wet. There may be a danger of electric shock.

Do not operate fusion splicer when water vapor condenses on its surface. Electrical shock or machine damage may occur.

Do not touch the electrode when fusion splicer is working. The high voltage and high temperature generated when the electrodes discharge can cause serious electric shocks and burns. (Note: Before replacing the electrode, be sure to turn off the splicer power supply, remove the battery, and unplug the AC power cable.)

Do not short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of the power socket of fusion splicer. This can result in circuitry burning and even personal injury or death.

Do not short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of the adapter plug. The adapter may burn, or even cause personal injury or death.

Do not use compressed or canned gas cleaner to clean fusion splicer. The arc generated during splicing may ignite the residual fuel, resulting in personal injury or death.

2. Precautions

Cut off the power supply and take out the battery immediately in case of any of the following abnormalities:

· Smoke, peculiar smell, abnormal sound or abnormal heating.

· Liquid or foreign matter entering the machine.

· Fusion splicer is damaged or broken.

Failure to take timely measures may result in machine obsolescence, electric shock, fire, or even personal injury or death Avoid using fusion splicer in high temperature environment. This might lead to shortened life, equipment damage, and splicing quality deterioration. Extreme temperatures can cause electrical circuits to burn, batteries to spontaneously combust, and even cause fire, personal injury, or death.

Avoid using fusion splicer in high humidity environment. May lead to shortened life, equipment damage, and splicing quality deterioration.

Do not use any chemical substance other than alcohol to clean the device. Device corrosion and damage may occur.

Do not use non-genuine lubricants. They will reduce the performance of fusion splicer and may damage the fusion splicer.

Avoid strong vibration or collision. Fusion splicer has been accurately adjusted and calibrated, strong vibration or collision may cause damage to the device, please use the provided carrying box to transport and store the fusion splicer, the box can effectively avoid strong vibration or collision.

Avoid placing the fusion splicer on unstable or unbalanced places. The fusion splicer may fall off, causing equipment damage and personal injury.

Do not touch the heat shrink tube during or just after heating. High temperature on the surface of the heat shrink tube may cause burns.

Check the straps and hooks are in good condition before using the straps. Damaged shoulder straps may break or unhook, resulting in device damage or personal injury.

Genuine electrodes must be used and replaced regularly in pairs. Non-genuine electrodes will lead to splicing quality deterioration, device circuit damage.

Fusion splicer must be maintained by professional technicians, improper maintenance may lead to circuit burning, battery spontaneous combustion, and even cause fire, personal injury or death. If fusion splicer is faulty, please contact the maintenance center.
