Installation: Screw in the tip until finger tight. (Fig.3) Mount the supplied wrench tool over the tip, and align the square holes to mate with
counterpart on the tip. Turn the wrench firmly until two or three clicks are heard. (Fig.4) The clicking, or tripping, takes place when
the turning force exceeds the preset value. This wrench fastens the tip at the preset consistent force at all times.
Removal: Mount the wrench over the tip and turn it in the direction as shown in Fig.4.
5. Changing Tips
Lubricate the scaler every three days. Use NSK Turbine Oil (Reorder number: Z016112)
Remove the scaler from the handpiece hose, and supply 2-3 drops of oil to the drive air port of the handpiece as shown in Fig.5. Connect to
the handpiece hose and operate for 5 seconds.
6. Lubrication
The manufacturer recommends Autoclave for sterilization.
Sterilization is required first time you use and after each patient as noted below.
Autoclaving Procedure
1
Brush off debris and clean with alcohol-wet cloth. Do not use wire brush.
2
Lubricate with turbine oil. See 6. Lubrication.
3
Place in an autoclave pouch, and seal it.
4
Autoclavable up to max. 135˚C.
ex.) Autoclave for 20 min. at 121˚C, or 15 min. at 132˚C.
5
Keep the handpiece in the autoclave pouch to keep it clean until you use it.
Sterilization at 121˚C for more than 15 minutes is recommended by EN13060 or EN ISO17665-1.
7. Sterilization of Scaler
CAUTION
Ř
Always, where possible, place the scaler in the middle or upper tray, as most sterilizer have heating elements in the bottom of
chamber and that local temperature may exceed 135˚C(275˚F).
Ř
Do not sterilize the scaler mixed with other instruments if chemicals are not sufficiently removed from them. Chemicals could cause
the plating to chip off and discolorate, or penetrate into the fiber bundles and to the internal components. Keep any chemicals off the
sterilizer.
Ř
Do not clean or wipe the scaler with highly oxidized or acid water or sterilizing solution.
WARNING
Ř
Always use the wrench to securely tighten the tip. Loose tip may come off during use and cause injury.
Ř
Do not use such tips as shown below. Tips are expendable items.
1
Tips with worn and dull edges.
2
Corroded or rusted tips.
3
Deformed tips, as caused by impact or fall.
Ř
Do not grind or polish for reuse.
Ř
Watch out the sharp point.
CAUTION
Do not use a spray lubricant. Limited air discharge orifice size of the scaler forces the propellant pressure to build up inside, and the
scaler may fly off.
