3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS wear eye
DANGER
protection when working with optical fibers.
NEVER look into the end of terminated or
unterminated fibers. Laser radiation is invisible
but can damage eye tissue. NEVER eat, drink, or
smoke when working with fibers. This could lead
to ingestion of glass particles.
DANGER BE VERY CAREFUL to dispose of fiber ends
properly. The fibers create slivers that can easily
puncture the skin and cause irritation.
DO NOT use defective or damaged components.
CAUTION
Replace them with new components.
