3.7 How to Make a Splice
① Open the safety shield.
② Open the fiber holder. Position
the fibers into V-grooves. Make
sure the fiber ends are between
the V-groove edges and the
electrode tip.
Note: Make sure to avoid sliding the
fibers along V-grooves, but rather
position them over V-grooves and tilt
them down into place (as shown in the
picture).
