Screw Attachment and Quick Coupling
for Kirschner Wires
Screw Attachment, 340 rpm
Inserting and Removing the Cutting Tools
To connect the cutting tool, insert it into the attachment
by applying a light pressure while rotating it slightly until it
locks in place.
To disconnect, pull the coupling sleeve back and remove
the cutting tool.
▲ WARNINGS:
•
Never fully insert screws with the handpiece.
The last turns or locking should always be done
manually.
•
Always use an appropriate torque limiting attachment
when putting locking screws into a locking plate.
▲ Precaution:
It is also possible to use the AO/ASIF Quick Coupling drill
attachment (05.001.250) to insert screws. However, the
Screw Attachment (05.001.251) has a lower speed and a
higher torque and is therefore more suitable. Screws with
a large diameter may not be able to be inserted with the
AO/ASIF Quick Coupling drill attachment as the torque
may not be sufficient.

towards the handpiece with your little finger and ring
finger. The clamping force can be changed by pulling
and releasing the tension lever.
