PRECAUTIONS
1. SAFETY GLASSES
WARNING: It is strongly recommended that
safety glasses be worn when handling bare
optical fiber. The bare fiber is very sharp and
can easily damage the eye.
2. DISPOSAL OF BARE FIBERS
WARNING: Pick up and discard all pieces of
bare fiber with sticky tabs. Do not let cut pieces
of fiber stick to clothing or drop in the work
area where they are hard to see and can
cause injury.
3. LASER LIGHT PROTECTION
WARNING: Laser light is invisible. The invisi-
ble light is powerful enough to damage your
eyes. Serious damage to the retina of the eye
is possible. Never look into the end of a fiber
which may have a laser coupled into it. Should
accidental eye exposure to laser light be sus-
pected, arrange for an eye examination imme-
diately.
4. CABLE HANDLING
WARNING: Fiber optic cable can be damaged
by excessive pulling, twisting, crushing or
bending stresses. Consult the appropriate
specification sheets as provided by your cable
vendor. Any damage may result in decreased
optical performance.
