CAUTION
Instructions for the safe use of handpieces with electronic micromotors.
Electronic micromotors generate much more energy than conventional
pneumatic turbines and motors. Given the higher torque and speed, hand‐
pieces that are poorly serviced, damaged or used improperly can overheat
which can seriously burn the patient.
▶ Never contact soft tissue with the instrument head.
Note
For safety reasons, we recommend that the tool holder system be checked
annually after the warranty period expires.

To ensure proper function, the medical device must be set up according to
the reprocessing methods described in the KaVo Instructions for Use, and
the care products and care systems described therein must be used. KaVo
recommends specifying a service interval at the dental office for a licensed
shop to clean, service and check the functioning of the medical device. This
service interval depends on the frequency of use and should be adjusted
accordingly.
Service may only be carried out by KaVo-trained repair shops using original
KaVo replacement parts.
