I need to test the splicing unit before operating it every day. I should put sponge gasket and a scrap fiber between the metal pieces that hold the light guide and press start so that if something is wrong and the ferrules are about to slam together they won’t come in contact. They should meet gently rather than slamming together.

I should blow a gentle stream of canned air to clean the fibers rather than a strong burst.

When I weight test fibers, the fuse site should be centered between the supports, midway between them.
