grooves, isopropyl alco-
hol and cotton swabs.
l Never use acetone for
cleaning any part of the

l Never use cans with
compressed gas to clean
any part of the splicer.
l Keep the electrode
housing clean and dry at
all times.
l Use the electrode
cleaning program after
every time you clean or

l Never touch the elec-
trodes when the splicer
is on.
l Never open the safety
shield or the power sup-
ply during operation.
l Never loosen any

Safety Information
Transport and Storage
l Never leave your
splicer in direct sunlight
or in places where it
might be exposed to
excessive heat (such as
in vehicles parked in the
sun).
l Always transport the
splicer in its carrying
case to avoid damage to
its precision parts.
l Keep the humidity to a
minimum where the
splicer is stored. The
humidity must not ex-
ceed 95%.
l If moisture forms on
the optics when moving
the splicer from an area
with very cold tempera-
ture to a warmer environ-
ment, let the splicer sit
and warm up before
using it.
l Close the safety shield
during transport.
