Fusion Splicer

WarningWarning

Any undefined change or modification of this manual will deprive you of the right to operate the equipment.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the equipment to rain or humidity.

To prevent electric shock, please do not open the shell, and it must be repaired by qualified personnel.

This product is designed for splicing the glass fiber of optical communications and cannot be used to splice other materials.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not allow liquid such as water or metallic substances to enter the machine.

It is forbidden to use the fusion splicer in the flammable and explosive environment, otherwise it will lead to fire or explosion.

When the fusion splicer is working, do not touch the electrode, avoid the hurt caused by the discharge of the electrode. When replacing the electrode, you must turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Please follow the operation manual strictly to use the battery:

*Please do not charge the battery by using methods other than in the manual;

*Don't throw the battery into the fire;

*Don't reverse positive and negative poles;

*Do not charge or discharge under high temperature, fire or direct sunlight;

*Do not throw or impact the battery;

*If the battery electrolyte leaks out, please handle it carefully. If you contact the skin or eyes accidentally, please must clean it thoroughly and seek medical advice immediately. Please also inform the maintenance center of handling the battery.

CautionsCautions

Do not use and store the fusion splicer in a high temperature and humidity environment . Otherwise, it may cause damage to the equipment.

Do not touch the heat-shrinkable tube during the heating or just ending, because the heat shrink is hot and may cause burns.

Do not touch the fusion splicer, AC power cord and AC plug when wet hand, otherwise it may cause electric shock.

Do not use any chemicals other than alcohol to clean microscope lenses, V-grooves, LCD screen, etc., otherwise it may cause blurred images, stains, etc., and may even cause equipment's corrosion and damage.

In the dusty environment, dust-proof measures must be taken to prevent dust from entering the machine and causing trouble.

Do not allow the fusion splicer to be subjected to strong vibration and shocks, otherwise the machine will be damaged. Please use a dedicated carrier to transport or store the fusion splicer.

Using the battery

The equipment can use a disposable alkaline battery or rechargeable battery, and can not be mixed with different types or different capacity batteries. Only rechargeable batteries can be charged.

Avoiding condensation:

Sudden changes in temperature should be avoided. Do not use the device immediately after moving the device from the cold area to the hot area, or when the room suddenly heats up, because the device may have condensation phenomenon. If the temperature changes abruptly , stop using it and take out the battery, and the power can be switched on after at least an hour.

Storage

When the device is not used for a long time, please take out the battery to avoid the damage caused by battery leakage .
