13. The device should be opened and repairs be carried
out only by qualified experts.
14. Only appropriately labeled original 3M ESPE
replacement parts may be used in the repair and
maintenance of this unit. Any damage resulting from
the use of third-party replacement parts voids the
liability of 3M ESPE.
15. Do not attempt to operate this unit by bypassing
the protective mechanisms (e. g. by turning off the
automatic shut-off switch on the cover of the unit).
Violation of the safety regulations may cause serious
injury and voids all warranties and guarantees.
16. Do not expose the device to solvents, flammable
liquids, and strong heat sources as these may
damage the plastic housing.
17. Cleaning the unit, ensure that no cleaning agent
enters the device since this may lead to electric
short-circuiting or hazardous malfunctions.
18. Pay attention to capsule leak tightness when
mixing. Capsules that are not leak tight contaminate
the device with mercury. Contaminated devices
cannot be repaired and must be disposed of as
contaminated waste according to local laws.
See the safety data sheet for the amalgam used for
first aid, measures to take in case of unintended
release, handling, storage, exposure limitation, and
personal protective clothing.
