- Page 3 18. Do not expose the splicer to extremely high temperature and high humidity or to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. 19. Only use original Sumitomo electrodes (ER-10). Failure to do so may cause the splicer to malfunction.
- Page 4 <Handling of power cord and plug > 1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug/unplug the power cord or remove the battery with wet hands. 2. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. Failure to do so may cause damage to the power cord, resulting in fire, electric shock or malfunction.
- Page 5 3. Only use alcohol to clean the splicer. To prevent malfunction and damage, do not use any other kind of chemicals. 4. Never use spray cleaners such as Freon or Flammable gas on the splicer. Heat by arc will cause chemical reactions to occur to gas component, which will deteriorate a microscope lens, resulting in a loss of splicing capability.
- Page 6 RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) The TYPE-66 optical fusion splicer is RoHS-compliant. WEEE Directive (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment; 2002/96/EC) The European Union has enacted a Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE Directive). This directive is applicable in the European Union member states. The crossed out wheelie bin symbol found on our products indicates that it should not be disposed of together with household waste.
