Wear Proper Clothing.  

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, which may get 

caught in rotating parts. Tie back long hair.

 

 

 

Maintain the Unit.  

Inspect periodically for damaged or worn parts. Follow 

the instructions for maintenance. Don’t use if the power cord, motor, switch, 
or other parts are in poor condition. Don’t use if the unit has been dropped or 
damaged. Have a qualified service person inspect and replace parts when 
necessary. 

 

 

For Laboratory Use Only.  

The Foster Model Trimmer is intended for use by 

trained professional laboratory personnel only. 

 
 

INSTALLATION 

 
Place the model trimmer in a suitable counter top location next to a sink and near 
a water source. 
 
Water is supplied to your Foster model trimmer through a flexible polyethylene 
hose, which is fitted with a 1/4" male pipefitting.  If the available water source is 
other than a 1/4" female pipe fitting, an adapter must be obtained to complete the 
installation.  A local plumbing supply will usually have the required adapter. 
 
NOTE:  It is recommended that you do NOT use copper tubing to connect the 
model trimmer to the water supply. The problem with copper tubing is that it is 
not flexible.  This nullifies the feature of the hinged door because the hose must 
flex when opening the door.  
 
Water is discharge from the model trimmer through a 24" x 1” ID flexible hose.  
Be sure that the hose slopes downward to the drain allowing gravity to drain the 
model trimmer. 
 
Longer lengths of both water supply and drain hose are available from Ray 
Foster Dental Equipment if needed. 

 
 

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 

 

FLUSH THE MODEL TRIMMER DAILY 

Your Foster model trimmer is a workhorse in the dental laboratory. It requires 
daily flushing and cleaning to prevent gypsum buildup and clogging. At the end of 
each use allow the motor to remain on and open the water adjustment to 
maximum for about 20 seconds. Turn the water off and allow the motor to run for 
an additional 10 seconds. Wipe the exterior of the model trimmer off at the end of 
each workday.
