FINE ADJUSTMENT
Type-E Palm Pads
The latest palm pad design for Airtact
®
hand control is
Type-E, available in four sensitivity levels: 4, 6, 8, and 10.
The handpiece is more responsive (less force required to
activate) with a lower number palm pad installed.
Initially, palm pads can be stiff . This aff ects the feel and
control. Stiff ness may be reduced naturally with a few
hours of use. To reduce stiff ness quickly, bend and twist
the control fl ap to soften. When the preferred softness
is nearly reached, stop and test frequently to adjust until
desired responsiveness is attained. The rubber control
fl ap can be formed for a custom feel as well.
Forming the Rubber Control Flap
The fl exible rubber control fl ap on the Palm Pad
transforms hand force into handpiece power by
progressively covering a small air vent hole in the upper
rear of the Airtact
®
handpiece knob.
Forming or bending the control fl ap one way (concave)
increases the required hand force; bending it the other
way (convex) decreases hand force.

To increase required hand force:
Bend the control fl ap into a more
concave shape. Bending the fl ap
this direction keeps the fl ap from
sealing off the Airtact
®
knob hole
until more hand force is applied.
To decrease required hand force:
Bend the fl ap into a more convex
shape to decrease the hand force
required. This shape seals the
Airtact
®
Knob hole with less force
applied.
