OM-T0412E 002
High Speed Air Turbine Handpiece
Caution
· When operating the handpiece always consider the safety of the patient.
· Do not exceed maximum bur length.
· Check for vibration, noise and overheating outside the patient's oral cavity before use. If any abnormalities
are found, stop using the handpiece immediately and contact dealer.
· Should the handpiece function abnormally, cease operation immediately and return the handpiece to
dealer for repair.
· Depressing the Push-Button while the handpiece is rotating will result in OVERHEATING of the handpiece
head. Special caution must be exercised during use to keep cheek tissue AWAY from the Push-Button of
the handpiece. Contact with cheek tissue may cause the Push-Button to depress and burn injury to the
patient may occur.
· Do not exceed the Air Pressure recommended specification below as bur breakage or wear may occur if
it exceeds the Air Pressure.
· Do not allow any impact on to the handpiece . Do not drop the handpiece.
· Refer to the coupling manual before connecting it to the handpiece tubing.
· Do not attempt to disassemble the handpiece or tamper with the mechanism.
· NSK has not recommended the repair and disassembly of the cartridge without exception. Handpiece
may perform abnormally (abnormal noise or abnormal vibration). Damage, failure or accidents are outside
of our guarantee.
· Do not fixate the eyes of LED light. (pico BLED, pico WLED)
· If any abnormalities (dark, do not light on or flashing) are found for LED, stop using the handpiece
immediately and contact dealer. (pico BLED, pico WLED)
· This handpiece is classified as Class 1 LED Product. (pico BLED, pico WLED)
· Use a power source which meets the following requirements. (pico BLED, pico WLED)
1. The electricity supply of the power source is below 15W both under normal and single failure
conditions.
2. The power source uses a SELV circuit for electricity supply.
3. The output voltage of the power source is within the range recommended by the manufacturer of this
product.
Caution
Use only clean water to maintain the Clean Head System.
Caution
· Fully depress the Push Button and insert the bur into the chuck until it is secure.
· Do not use carbide bur when the crown is removed. It may cause malfunction.
· Do not apply too much pressure to the bur. Bur may break or bent or difficult to remove. (Be sure to
irrigate water. Cutting should be soft touch.)
· Do not use any bur longer that the NSK recommended Specification.
· Do not use bent, worn, damaged, or non-concentric burs. Such burs can cause damage to the
handpiece.
· Do not exceed the bur speed recommended by the bur manufacturer.
· Always keep the bur shank clean. Entry of hard debris into the chuck via the bur shank could cause
rotation slip and also prevent the bur from being securely located in the chuck.

1. Specification
Intended to Use:
This handpiece is designed only for dental treatment use.
3. Maintenances
3-1 Cleaning (Clean-Head System)
1) Brush off the debris at the Clean Head Holes. Do not use a
wire brush. (Fig. 2)
2) Half fill a cup with clean water.
3) Rotate the handpiece and immerse half of the handpiece
head. (Fig. 3)
4) Rotate and stop intermittently the handpiece about 2 to 3
seconds. (About 3 times)
5) By the function of the clean head system, the clean head
hole can be washed.
6) Stop the handpiece and wipe it dry. If the dirt could not
remove from the hole, remove the cartridge and clean it by
brush.
7) Perform lubrication and sterilization. (3-6 Lubrication and 3-7
Sterilization)
3-2 Cleaning (Spray Port)
When spray nozzle are clogged, or spray does not exit evenly from three ports, clean the ports as
follows:
1) Remove the bur from the chuck.
2) Take out the cleaning wire from the back end of the brush
holder. Insert the wire straight into the spray ports with
caution.
Do not forcibly insert the wire into the port.
Damaged or disoriented port could cause the spray diverge
or directed away from the bur, and the cooling efficiency
deteriorates.
3) After use, clean the cleaning wire. Push into the brush holder
with the pointed end of the wire inward.
3-3 Cleaning (Handpiece)
This handpiece can be washed via Thermo Disinfector.
Scrub dirt and debris from the handpiece, and wipe clean with alcohol-immersed cotton swab or cloth.
Do not use a wire brush. Refer the manual of Thermo-Disinfector for performing it.
Caution
· Be sure to hold the handpiece firmly to prevent the handpiece from slipping out of hand by the spray
pressure when lubricating.
· Supply lubricant until it comes out of the handpiece head.
· Hold the PANA SPRAY Plus/PANA SPRAY can upright.
· Repeat lubrication until handpiece is clean and free of debris. If blood is left on the handpiece, it can
clot causing rust. This may cause failures those are shortage of rotation or torque.
Caution
· Do not autoclave the handpiece, even when it is bagged, together with other instruments, from
which chemicals are not sufficiently cleaned. This is to avoid discoloration and/or damage to the
plating of the handpiece.
· Do not wipe with, or clean or immerse in, high acid water or sterilizing solutions.
Caution
· Make sure that the O-Ring is removed, when removing the Cartridge. O-Ring might be remained in
the Head, when removing the Cartridge. If there is a remained O-Ring, the new Cartridge can not be
inserted properly.
· Use only NSK genuine cartridge. If you use other cartridge, specification may not be satisfied and we
can not warranty of this situation.
· The head cap screw thread is very fine. To prevent damage to the thread always first tighten the
handpiece head cap using fingers, then secure with the head cap wrench.
· Make sure that the O-ring (Fig. 8) is correctly located on the cartridge.
Caution
· Do not disassemble the Taper Ring except the O-ring changing.
· Make certain that the Taper Ring is firmly tightened. If the Taper Ring is loose water and air leakage
could occur.
Caution
Make certain that the Taper Ring is firmly tightened. If the Taper Ring is loose water and air leakage
could occur.
6. Non-Retraction Valve
A Non-Retraction Valve shuts off the water retraction right at the handpiece head, to prevent oral fluids
sucked into the water line.
NSK Coupling
