The UNIUM Portfolio offers a broad range of attachments
which are described in the following pages. Some of the
attachments have been color coded between drill (blue)
and ream (red) speed.
Inserting and Removing the
Attachments
Insert the attachment into the attachment coupling
(Fig. 1). If the positioning pins do not lock into place right
away, rotate the attachment a bit to the right or
left until it locks into the correct position.
▲ Precaution:
Once inserted, check to make sure the attachment is
seated correctly by gently pulling on it.
Press the attachment release buttons simultaneously and
pull to remove the attachment from the coupling head of
the handpiece.
▲ WARNINGS:
•
To avoid injuries, always switch OFF the handpiece
before every manipulation (e.g. inserting/ removing the
power unit, attachments and/or cutting tools) and
before placing it back down.
•
Please observe the safety instructions and warnings
stated in the instructions when working with
attachments and cutting tools. Only use original
attachments and cutting tools. Damage resulting from
the use of attachments from other manufacturers is
not covered by the warranty.
•
Never use an attachment in reverse mode (e.g.
05.001.254, 05.001.257, 05.001.258, 05.001.259 and
05.001.260, 532.015) with a legacy series flexible
reamer shaft, as this may lead to serious injury to the
patient.
•
Only place the handpiece in an upright position when
changing attachments or cutting tools intraoperatively.
The handpiece must be laid on its side when not in use
in order to avoid the risk of being dropped or
contaminating other devices. Alternatively, only when
using the insert tray (68.001.654) the handpiece can be
left in an upright position.

▲ Precautions:
During reaming procedures, high torque values are
generated by the Power Tool and delivered to the ream-
ing head to allow efficient bone removal. In cases where
the reaming head is suddenly blocked, these high torque
values can be transferred onto the user’s hand, wrist and/
or the patient’s body. In order to prevent injuries it is
therefore essential that:
•
the Power Tool is held in an ergonomic position with a
firm grip.
•
if the reamer head gets blocked, the speed trigger is
immediately released.
•
the correct function of the speed trigger (imme diate
stop of the handpiece when the trigger is released) is
checked before the reaming process.
