Battery precautions
DO NOT collide the battery with sharp or hard objects.
DO NOT transport or store the battery with metals simultaneously.
DO NOT throw, drop, impact or bend the battery.
DO NOT strike the battery with hammers or tread on it.
DO NOT connect the anode and cathode of the battery to metals such as electrical short circuit.
DO NOT let the anode and cathode contact with the external aluminum coating of the battery so as to avoid short
circuit.
DO NOT disassemble the battery under any circumstances.
DO NOT immerse the battery in fresh water or sea water, and avoid moisture.
DO NOT use or place the battery near heat source. (e.g. fire, heat oven)
DO NOT heat the battery or throw it into water.
DO NOT weld the battery directly.
DO NOT charge the battery near fire or in high temperature.
DO NOT put the battery into the microwave oven or high pressure container.
DO NOT use or place the battery in extremely high temperature (e.g. strong sunlight or inside a car which is with
poor ventilation) for long period of time. Otherwise, it may cause overheat, fire, battery malfunction, or shorter
battery life.
DO NOT use damaged battery. The battery with electrolyte leakage or electrolyte smell shall be kept away from
fire to avoid fire or explosion.
If electrolyte leakage contacts with skin or other parts of body, please wash it off with a plenty of water
immediately. If electrolyte leakage contacts with your eye(s), please rinse your eye(s) with water immediately and
seek medical advice.

Safety warnings and precautions
As OFS-945S is designed for fusion splicing silica glass optical fibers, it is very important that the splicer should
not be used for any other purposes. The splicer is a precision instrument and must be handled with caution.
Therefore, you must read the following safety rules and general precautions in this manual regarding the use and
handling of OFS-945S at any time. Any behaviors that do not follow the warnings and cautions will break the
safety standard about design, manufacture, and usage of the fusion splicer. PRO will not take the responsibility
for those consequences caused by misuse!
Operational safety warnings
Never operate the splicer in an environment where flammable liquids or vapors exist.
DO NOT touch the electrodes when the splicer is on.
Note: Only use specified electrodes for the fusion splicer. Select [Replace electrode] in maintenance menu to
replace electrodes, or turn off the splicer and disconnect the AC power source or remove battery before replacing
electrodes. Discharging is prohibited before the electrodes are placed as a pair.
DO NOT disassemble or modify any components of the splicer without approval, except for the permitted-to-
disassemble / modify components or parts by users stated in this manual. Component replacement and its internal
adjustment must be implemented by PRO or its authorized technicians or engineers.
Never operate the splicer in an environment where flammable liquids or vapors exist. Risk of dangerous fire or
explosion could result from the splicer’s electrical arc in such an environment. DO NOT operate the splicer near
hot objects or in high temperature and dusty / humid atmosphere, or when condensation is present on the splicer.
This may result in electric shock, splicer malfunction, or poor splicing performance.
Users should always wear safety glasses during fiber preparation and splicing operation. Fiber fragments can be
extremely dangerous if they are ingested or come into contact with eyes, skin.
Take out the battery immediately if the followings are observed when using the splicer:
•Fumes, bad smell, abnormal noise or over heat.
•Liquid or other matter falls into cabinet
•The splicer is damaged or dropped.
Note: If any of these faults occurs, please contact our service center immediately. Leaving the splicer in a
damaged state without any prompt measures may cause equipment failure, electric shock, or fire and may result in
injury or death.
Do not use compressed gas or canned air to clean the splicer. They may contain flammable materials that could
ignite during the electrical discharge.
Please use OFS-945S designed battery only. Using an improper AC power source may cause fuming, electric
shock or equipment damage and may even result in fire, injury or death.
Please use OFS-945S designed charger only. Do not place any heavy objects on the AC power cord. Keep the
power cord away from heat source. Using an improper cord or a damaged cord may cause fuming, electric shock
or equipment damage and may even result in fire, injury or death.

Maintenance and external care precautions
Always avoid using hard objects to clean V-grooves and electrodes.
Always avoid using acetone, thinner, benzol or alcohol when cleaning any parts of the splicer, except for the
places advised.
Use a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt from the splicer.
If the outside of the splicer is dirty, plunge a soft cloth into diluted neutral washing up liquid, wring out the cloth
and clean. Dry the splicer with a dry cloth but DO NOT USE furniture polish or other cleaning agents.
Always follow the maintenance instructions in this manual.
Transport and storage precautions
When the splicer is moved from cold to warm environment, you should allow the splicer to warm up gradually.
Otherwise, the condensation generated inside will bring harmful effects to the splicer.
Pack the fusion splicer well for long time storage.
Keep the splicer clean and dry.
The splicer is precision adjusted and aligned. Always keep the splicer in its carrying case to protect from damage
and dirt. Put cushion package outside the carrying case for long distance transportation.
Always avoid leaving the splicer in direct sunlight or expose to excessive heat.
Do not store the splicer in dusty or humid environment. This may result in electric shock, splicer malfunction or
poor splicing performance.
Keep the humidity to a minimum level where the splicer is stored. The humidity must not exceed 95%.
Unpacking the splicer
Hold the handle upwards, then lift the splicer out of the carrying case.
