2. Operation
- Always clip the file hook to the upper part of file shaft,
near the handle. The metal and plastic part of the file hook
can be damaged if they are attached to the file’s cutting
part or the transition to the cutting part.
- Use files and reamers with plastic handles only.
If the file has a metal handle, electrical leakage will occur
when the handle is touched by fingers and it will prevent
an accurate root canal measurement. Even if the file
handle is made of plastic, make sure not to touch the
metal part of the file with finger.
- Do not use damaged file hook. An accurate measurement
can not be made with a damaged file hook.
- Clip the file as shown in illustration #1 to the left, if the
file is in the position shown in illustration #2, it may not
make a correct measurement and the file hook could
be damaged.
