CAUTIONS

Use the KF4 only on a stable surface to avoid falls that may cause damage or injury. 

The KF4 should be accurately adjusted and treated in alignment. Do not give it a strong shock.  Use the 

carrying case provided for transporting and storing the KF4 to reduce humidity, vibration and shock. 

When replacing the electrodes: 

• 

Always use UCL SWIFT-approved replacements

• 

Ensure correct positioning

• 

Always replace in pairs 

Failure to follow all warnings and cautions to ensure proper function of the KF4 may result in equipment 

damage or a faulty splice. 

Use only ethyl alcohol (96% or higher) or other approved cleaning solutions to clean the lens, V-groove, LCD 

monitor and main body. 

Use the splicer only within the stated operating environmental ranges. Store in a controlled environment to 

avoid long-term exposure to damaging temperatures and humidity levels. 

The KF4 should receive regular service by a UCL SWIFT-authorized service technician to ensure long-term 

functionality and safety.
