• Do not use a bent, damaged, deformed or non-ISO-conforming file. Using such a file
may result in injury.
• Check the product before use by turning it on, paying attention to looseness,
vibration, noise and temperature (heat generation). If any abnormal condition is
found, no matter how slight, immediately stop use and contact your distributor.
• For your own safety, please wear personal protective equipment (Gloves,
glasses, mask).
• Always clean the shank of the file or the Gates Glidden to be installed. Allowing
dirt to enter the chuck could cause loss of concentricity and deterioration of
chucking force.
• Before changing the head or file, turn off the power to the motor handpiece.
Changing with the power kept on may cause unintended rotation by accidental
touch of the Forward or Reverse buttons.
• Pay attention to the direction of the battery connector when installing. Forcible
installation in the wrong direction may cause damage and fluid leakage due to
a short circuit.
• Do not use the handpiece unless the rotary file is secure within the contra-angle
attachment.
• Never mount an attachment to the handpiece body while it is running.
• Never press the push-button on the contra-angle attachment while the handpiece
is running.
• The “torque limit” feature is intended as an aid to help reduce breakage of rotary
files. It is not a substitute for professional judgment and clinical good practice.
• Follow all the sterilization, cleaning, lubrication and maintenance directions in the
user instructions. Use only approved parts and supplies. Failure to do so will void the
warranty, can degrade product performance, and may lead to unsafe operation.
• If you observe water in the charging stand, disconnect the electrical power. The
charging stand has been designed to allow water and debris to drain from the
charging contact area, however, debris could potentially plug the drain, increasing risk
of electrical shock. Disconnect electrical power prior to cleaning debris from the drain.
• This product is designed for use with a rechargeable 1500mAH Lithium-Ion battery.
Any other battery type may cause degraded system performance.
• Other than battery replacement, there are no user-serviceable items in the

handpiece body or charging stand; opening either of these
can result in unsafe operation.
• The handpiece body is not waterproof. Do not immerse the handpiece body in
water or a chemical solution. Do not spray liquids onto this device – wipe only.
(See section H: Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization)
• Fully-charged rechargeable batteries generally discharge gradually over time even
though the motor handpiece is not used. It is recommended to place the handpiece
in the charger when not in use.
