bodily injury and damage to the cleaver could result.
Caution
1. Do not touch the blade with bare hands as it is extremely sharp. Doing
so can cause bodily injury. A chipped blade will degrade cleaving
performance. Take care not to hit the blade against anything.
2. Optical fiber and glass fiber offcuts are tiny and extremely sharp. Handle
with great care. Take care not to prick your finger. Wear safety glasses
at all times during cleaving operation for protection from glass fibers.
3. Do not use the cleaver which has a crack or damage. Doing so can cause
bodily injury.
4. The cleaver is a precision tool. Do not impact the cleaver by hitting or
dropping. Doing so can cause bodily injury and loss of cleaving
performance.
5. After use please empty the fiber bin and then store the cleaver in the
case. There is a possibility that fiber offcuts could spill out of the bin
during transportation if remain in the bin.
6. In a high location, take safety measures using a strap to prevent fall of
the cleaver.
7. Dispose of glass fiber offcuts in exclusive waste places. Do not mix them
with other waste.
8. Do not disassemble or lubricate any parts of the cleaver. Doing so can
cause damage to the cleaver.
Caution
9. Be sure to move the slider with the lid open.
Moving the slider with the lid closed may cause malfunction.
Also do not apply force to the slider section when the lid is closed, for
example, during storage.
