Turning the key switch counterclockwise.
Handpiece Cleaning
The handpiece is a non-critical product per APIC Guidelines and requires cleaning of the
output protective window by an alcohol swab in-between patients. This window is
located inside the snap-in holder at the handpiece output aperture (between two distance
gauges) and should be cleaned during extended use to reduce dirt accumulation. Products
such as standard alcohol prep pads or Q-tips soaked with acetone or methanol may be
used to clean the laser handpiece protective window between patients. Always finish the
cleaning process with a fresh wipe or Q-tip to ensure that all areas are cleared of all
debris. For better cleaning or for protective window replacement pull the holder out of
the handpiece. Unscrew the holding nut and remove protective window from the holder.
Note:
After extended use the optical surface of protective window can be damaged,
despite of regular cleaning. This is normal. If extensive damages can be seen on the
window surface, replace it with the new one. Please, contact DDC Technologies
Customer service department and ask for
Part #W-755/1064-0501
to order.
