1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
8. Request for flushout of water staying in the unit
In order to maintain the quality of the treatment water to stably supply water to the handpieces, be sure
to thoroughly flush out any remaining water in the unit before starting treatment. Refer to the pages for
the flushing out procedures.
9. Cautions when shifting/moving the instrument table:
When moving the instrument table, pay attention to the surrounding area. Failure to heed this warning
may result in injuries by the tips of the handpieces.
The instrument table must be moved with the handle of the unit.
10. Do not place hot objects on the instrument table.
Do not place hot objects on the instrument table. Failure to heed this warning may result in deformation or
discoloration of the table.
11. Be sure to wipe chemicals off immediately when spilled on the system.
If chemicals or water are spilled on the system, immediately wipe off with a dry, soft towel. Failure to
heed this warning may result in system malfunction, electrical leakage, stains, or rust on the equipment.
12. Take care not to activate the water heater without water in it.
Activating the water heater without water in it will burn out the heating element, resulting in fire.
13. Be sure to use the cover over the scaler tip.
After using the scaler, be sure to use the designated tip cover (for models with a cover) before placing
it in the holder. Without the cover, there is a possibility of injury caused by the scaler tip.
14. Observe the following when handling handpieces:
Change the rotation speeds of the micro-motor and detach the burr of the handpieces only after motor
rotation comes to a complete stop for safety purposes. Refer to the operating instructions that come with
each handpiece for details.
15. Observe the following when handling the film viewer:
Handle the film viewer carefully, since a fluorescent lamp is encased. Be sure to turn off the lamp when not
in use.
16. Observe the following concerning the cart hose:
Do not tread on the cart hose. Failure to heed this warning may result in damage to the hose, as well
as people tripping over.
17. Cautions when adjusting the height of the cart-type instrument table:
After adjusting the height, be sure to fasten the loosened lock screw. Failure to heed this warning may
cause the table to shift, resulting in an accident.
18. Pay attention to entrapment during automatic operation of the treatment unit.
During automatic operation of the treatment unit, pay attention to surrounding areas before initiating
operations. Failure to heed this warning may result in breakage of the backrest, stool, or instrument table.
Furthermore, check that the patient is in the correct position and always monitor the patient during system
operation.
19. Caution when cleaning the control panel (membrane switch):
Seepage of sterilization liquid into the back of the membrane sheet will cause switch failure. Be sure to use a
paper towel applied with sterilization liquid to clean the membrane sheet surface.
