25 Operating suction handpieces
NOTE
Remove the suction handpiece from the patient’s mouth before stopping the
suction.
NOTE
In addition to the instructions below, you can program the suction so that it is
started/stopped by pushing the foot control’s side knob, or by pressing the
Flexy button. For instructions, see sections "Flexy button functions" on page
198 and "Foot control functions" on page 200.
NOTE
If you have stopped the suction from the foot control or the Flexy button
while the suction handpiece was in your hand, the suction will start for a
while when you return the handpiece to the suction holder. The duration of
this post-suction delay is configurable, contact your Planmeca dealer. This
feature is not available for the tilting high-volume suction handpiece.
25.1 Saliva and high-volume suction
When a saliva or high-volume suction handpiece is lifted from its holder, the
suction will automatically start. When the handpieces are returned, the
suction will stop.
When you are using the suction handpiece, the suction can be controlled by
sliding the adjuster up or down.
