1. NOTES FOR USERS
Swift K11 is designed to be conveniently used both indoor and outdoor work sites so its use is easy
and simple but make sure to read this instructions for use to prevent safety accident and
breakdown before using SwiftK11. The instructions for use provide information necessary for safe
splice.
Ilsintech does not take any responsibility for the equipment’s damage and personal or physical
loss incurred due to improper use or alteration.
WARNINGS
When any of the following occurs during use, turn off the power immediately and contact to Ilsintech.
▪Smoke, disgusting smell, noise or abnormal overheating.
▪When a foreign substance or liquid falls into the equipment
▪When the sealer falls down or it is damaged
Regarding AC power cord, use the one provided with Swift K11. If a power cord other than provided is
used, it may incur fire, electrical shock or injury.
Do not touch the electrode when power of Swift K11 is on. High voltage and high temperature generated
from electrode may incur serious chock or burn.
Connect the provided AC power cord to battery. Check whether there is any
foreign substance on the terminal before connecting to AC power socket.
Incomplete splice may incur smoke, electric shock, fire, damage of equipment, serious injury and even
death.
Use proper power.
AC power for the adapter is AC100-240V, 50~60Hz.
Test the AC power before use. When output voltage of AC power is high or abnormal frequency is
generated, the product is damaged and serious injury or even death may be incurred to the user.
AC output voltage should be measured using circuit tester before connecting AC power cable and regular
inspection should also be conducted.
Do not pull the provided AC power cord by force or heat or transform it.
Carry the instructions for use with the product at all times.

SWIFT K11-EN, Rev.A 6
WARNINGS
When a damaged power cord is used, it may incur fire or injury.
Use 3-core AC power cord and do not ever use 2-core power cord, cable or plug.
Do not touch AC plug, AC power cord or sealer with wet hands. It may incur electric shock.
Do not disassemble AC adapter, battery or Swift K11. Deformation may incur fire, electrical shock or
injury.
Refer to the following when using the battery.
▪When an improper battery which is not provided by Ilsintech is used, it may incur smoke,
damage of equipment, burn, injury or even death.
▪Do not dispose the battery into fire or incineration plant.
▪Do not charge the battery next to flame.
▪Do not give an excessive shock to the battery.
▪When the battery is not completely charged in 2 hours or green LED is not turned on, stop
charging immediately and contact to Ilsintech.
▪Do not put anything on AC adapter during charging.
Use the exclusive AC adapter (F1-1). Do not use another AC power cord or battery. Excessive current
may incur equipment damage or injury.
Do not use Swift K11 where there is harmful gas or flammable liquid. Explosion or fire may be incurred
due to electrical discharge.
Do not use compressed air or compressed gas when cleaning Swift K11.
Inspect the case belt before transportation. When transporting case is dropped due to damage on belt,
it may incur equipment damage or injury.
Wear safety goggles when working on making splice. It is very dangerous if a piece of optical fiber gets
in skin or eye.
Do not use Swift K11 around high temperature or flame. It may incur injury
or equipment damage.
CAUTION:
HIGH TEMPERATURES
DO NOT SPRAY FREON GAS
CAUTION:
HIGH VOLTAGE

SWIFT K11-EN, Rev.A 7
CAUTIONS
Do not touch sleeve heater or protec sleeve while sleeve heater is operating or right after heating is
completed. It may incur injury due to high temperature.
Do not put Swift K11 at an unstable place. When the equipment is dropped, it incurs injury or equipment
damage.
Swift K11 should be accurately adjusted and treated in arrayal. Do not give it a strong shock, either.
Use transporting case to carry or to keep Swift K11. The transporting case keeps the equipment from
humidity, vibration and shock during storage and transportation and prevents its damage.
Replace the electrode at the right time by referring to the following.
Designated electrode should only be used.
Place a new electrode at a right position.
Replace the electrode in pairs.
Abnormal discharge is incurred when not following the aforementioned caution.
It may incur equipment damage or deteriorated splice.
Do not use any chemical other than ethyl alcohol (96% or higher) to clean object lens, V-Groove, LCD
monitor and main body.
Using other chemicals may incur deformation, discoloration or deteriorated performance.
Do not keep the equipment in environment with high temperature or high humidity. It may incur
equipment damage.
Technical aspects of Swift K11 should be inspected by a qualified expert.
When ignoring this, it may incur fire or electric shock.
Discuss with Ilsintech to use the service.

SWIFT K11-EN, Rev.A 19
4.6 Optical fiber cutting
i. Install the optical fiber on cutter as shown in the figure below and check optical fiber’s
state and cutting length. When optical fiber is not properly installed, problems may be
incurred on cutting procedure.
ii. Push the cutting lever down and the optical fiber is being cut.
iii. Lift the cutting lever and take the optical fiber out.
iv. Remove the cut pieces of optical fiber and dispose in a proper container.
For the detailed use of cutter, refer to the instructions for cutter use.

SWIFT K11-EN, Rev.A 20
4.7 Installing optical fiber to sealer
i. Open the windbreak cover and optical fiber clamp.
ii. Put optical fiber between V-Groove and electrode. Be careful not to make the tip of
prepared optical fiber bump against other objects.
iii. Fix the optical fiber with hands to prevent its move and close the clamp with care.
iv. Install the optical fiber on the opposite side in the same way.
v. Close the windbreak cover with care.
The better the optical fiber is installed at a proper location, the shorter it takes for arrayal.
