1.0 Safety and Helpful Hints
Use reagent grade isopropyl alcohol that is 99% pure to clean the fibers and other components. When terminating connectors on any cable
containing grease, ensure that all grease is wiped away and the buffer, coating, and fiber are thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl
™
alcohol is not shipped with the 3M
Field Termination Kits; however, a bottle for the alcohol is included.
Note: Carefully follow safety, health and environmental information given on the container label or the Material Safety Data Sheet for the
isopropyl alcohol and 3M
™
Pronto™ Instant Adhesive, CA-8.
CAUTION
Hot Surface. The metal block in the Hot Melt Oven is heated to approximately 482°F (250°C).
Do not touch. Do not cover. Use only with original 3M™ accessories.
Note: Flashpoint of the Hot Melt glue is 520°F (271°C).
WARNING
• Safety glasses should be worn when working with optical fibers.
• Do not view fiber ends if they are illuminated with a laser.
• Keep oven clear from flammable material.
• Disconnect power supply when cleaning.
3M™ Hot Melt Oven Safety
Safety Information
