Instructions (cont’d)
WARNINGS:
• If the blade retracts or extends from the end of the
sternum blade guard, the blade may cause tissue
damage.
• Do not grasp the handpiece near the guard actuating
button or handle the handpiece in a way that may
displace the guard actuating button during use.
Displacing the guard actuating button causes the
sternum blade guard to disengage and may cause
loss of tactile control and patient injury.
