2.4 Handpiece Operation
Refer to the handpiece manufacturer’s instructions for the use and maintenance of the handpiece prior to use. Handpiece
operation is performed by pressing down on the foot control to run and then removing pressure from the foot control to stop.
A handpiece will only run if it has been removed from its holder and the lock-out switch disengaged (see Handpiece Holders
below).
2.4.1 Handpiece Pressure
Handpiece pressures have been preset to operate handpieces at designated pressure ranges.
Ensure that the handpiece pressure is set correctly for the brand of handpiece prior to using. To
adjust the handpiece pressure see the Service section.
2.4.2 Handpieces Holders
The handpieces are automatically activated for use with the foot control whenever they are
removed from their holder. (Ensure that only one handpiece is removed from the holder at
a time to prevent multiple handpiece activation. If so equipped, engage the handpiece
lockout feature for additional safety.)
Handpiece holders can slide from side to side on the bar, they can
ratchet around the bar, and they can be rotated. For instrument
handpieces, a manual lockout lever shuts the holder off so the instrument
can be removed without having it activated by the rheostat. To engage
the lockout, lift the lever to a horizontal position (
Figure 2.4.2-A)
. To
return the holder to normal operation, point the lever back down to the
floor (
Figure 2.4.2-B).
2.4.3 coolant Operation – Adjusting coolant Spray
To activate the coolant water for a handpiece flip the toggle switch either located on the front of the system or on the foot
control. To deactivate the coolant water, flip the toggle switch to the OFF position.
To adjust coolant spray, press the foot control and while the handpiece is operating,
locate the adjustment knob on the unit on the side or front. Turn the toggle switch for
coolant spray to ON, then turn the adjustment knob (counter-clockwise to decrease,
or clockwise to increase) until the desired level of spray is achieved (see Figure 2.4.3).
Note: For multiple instruments that provide coolant, individual adjustments are provided
and are located in order from left to right, and are labeled accordingly.
2.4.4 chip Air – Adjusting chip Air Flow
The Chip Air Control is located on the front left side of the unit and is labeled. To adjust, rotate clockwise to increase and
counter clockwise to decrease the flow. Depending on the brand of handpiece, chip air may be used to create the desired
atomization of the coolant spray. It may also be desired to shut down chip air flow for some treatment procedures. In this case,
rotate the knob counter clockwise until it stops.
