As described in the Indications for Use, any other type of use or alteration to the product is
prohibited and can lead to personal injury or damage to the product.
Electric Dental Micromotors generate significantly more power than traditional air turbines
and air motors.
Due to this increased power and torque, poorly maintained, misused, worn, or damaged handpieces
can potentially generate friction induced heat capable of causing serious burns to patients and staff.
The following guidelines should be followed to ensure safe operation of electric handpieces:
o
Carefully follow these maintenance instructions.
o
Use only Midwest maintenance products.
o
Always examine the handpiece for damage before each use. Immediately stop using the
handpiece if it begins generating heat, excessive noise, or vibration.
o
NEVER apply pressure to the chuck release button while the handpiece is rotating or use
the handpiece as a cheek or tongue retractor!
Only Use the AC Power Adaptor and Control Unit Supplied for this Equipment.
Using other AC Power Adaptors or Control Units may cause personal injury or damage to the
equipment.
Proper Disposal is Required.
