Operational Hints for Ordinary Tools
•
Do not apply excessive pressure on the tool. ULTRAMAX DF and SF polish
best when only a small amount of pressure is applied. The more pressure
applied to the work surface, the less cutting power.
•
Do not use highly viscous lubricants when polishing – they reduce ultrasonic
vibration and cutting power. Use Gesswein Stoning and Lubricating Oil for best
results.
•
A high-pitched noise indicates a loose connection or bent tool.
Color Coding for Ordinary Tools
All Gesswein ultrasonic tools except abrasive stones are color-coded as indicated
in the chart below.

Use a Clamp Tool Holder for finishing
stones, resin-bonded diamond stones,
ceramic stones and laps.
Fasten Clamp Tool Holders directly to the
UF-9700 handpiece. Use 10mm spanner
wrenches to tighten holders securely. Use
only 6mm Clamp Tool Holders. Do not
use 4mm holders – they will damage the
UF-9700 handpiece.
Firmly secure the stone or lap in the Clamp
Tool Holder with a 2.5mm Allen wrench. If
the tool thickness or diameter is undersized,
do not compensate by overtightening. Use a
metal shim as illustrated.
Note: To obtain the best reciprocation frequencies,
threaded and clamp tools and tool holders must be
securely fastened. Loose connections will cause
reduced power output. To ensure maximum tool
efficiency, all male and female tool threads and all
tool shoulders and interfaces must be kept clean and
true (see Operational Precautions section).

6.3 Ultrasonic Tool Usage
A wide range of threaded and clamp-type tools and tool holders is supplied with
each ULTRAMAX unit. Additional tools and tool holders are available separately.
Ordinary Tools
Ordinary tools include all Gesswein ultrasonic tools except those used in Clamp
Tool Holders. Gesswein ordinary factory premounted tools are made to match
the resonant frequency of ULTRAMAX DF and SF. The manufacturer does not
accept any liability for other manufacturers’ tools.
When using Ordinary Tools, depress the “ORDINARY TOOL” selector switch on
the front panel of the ULTRAMAX DF and SF. Selecting “ORDINARY TOOL”
provides maximum cutting power.
