Repair and Maintenance

Over the warranty period, breakdowns of the splicer deserve free maintenance.
However, the following circumstances are not covered by the warranty.

Breakdowns or damages caused by force majeure, such as natural disasters.

Instrument damage or performance degradation caused by violation of the
Manual and mishandling.

Vulnerable parts, such as lithium batteries and electrodes, enjoy separate
warranty periods.

Repair of the splicer should be performed by SALUKI or authorized repair units.
Dismantling and repair by any other parties and personnel are illegal, and the
warranty becomes invalid. SALUKI retains the right to pursue legal actions
against any violators.

In case the splicer should be returned back to the factory thanks to repair or
maintenance needs, it should be put in the portable box and be transported in the
original package. Any damages caused by improper packing will not be covered
