2. Plug the AC transformer’s three-pronged
power cord into a grounded electrical
outlet.
SCALING TIPS FOR THE
TURBOPIEZO SCALER
The TurboPIEZO scaler comes with 3 tips
included with the basic scaler unit.
Replacements are available from Parkell.
Prior to use, the tips should be sterilized as
described later. Tips are easily threaded on
and off the handpiece using the Scaler Tip
Wrench. Tips should be tightened clockwise
firmly with the wrench until it disengages.
Tips are loosened by turning the wrench
counterclockwise. Bent, worn or blunt tips
will scale poorly and generate excess heat,
and should be replaced with new.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
REGARDING USE OF
NON-PARKELL TIPS:
Parkell piezoelectric scaler tips may be
compatible with other “EMS-compatible”
brands of tips. However, for optimal
performance of your scaler, we recommend
using Parkell ultrasonic tips, which have been
tested to function in our unit. Parkell cannot
guarantee that all non-Parkell tips available
on the market today or in the future will work
properly with our scalers. For more
information, contact Parkell.
TURNING THE SCALER ON AND OFF
Turn the unit on by pressing the “ON/OFF”
button on the front panel to the “IN” position.
The Green “ON” LED will illuminate. The
scaler may now be activated by pressing
down on the foot-pedal. When the foot-pedal
is pressed, the Green “ON” LED will get
brighter, indicating that the unit is active.
When the foot-pedal is released, the Green
“ON” light will return to original brightness. To
turn the unit off, press the “ON/OFF”button to
the “OUT” position.
CONTROLLING THE POWER OUTPUT
The TurboPIEZO gives you several ways to
adjust the scaling power.
1. Use the Power Control Knob on the main
power unit to set the initial scaling power
for the procedure at hand. Turn the knob in
a clockwise direction to increase the power,
or counterclockwise to decrease the power.
• Usually, the Power Control Knob is set at
the “Medium” setting to start. When the
foot-pedal is slightly depressed, the tip will
begin vibrating at Medium power.
• The “PERIO” button reduces the range of
the power control knob. When this switch
is pressed, it lights up. Now, relatively large
movements of the Power Control Knob will
produce small changes in tip power. This
permits very subtle adjustments that are
useful for subgingival scaling.
2. Use the “Turbo Mode” for short-term
increases in power during scaling. Press
the foot-pedal using increased foot
pressure and the yellow “TURBO” light
will illuminate. This will instantly boost
scaling power to a point midway between
the current setting and the scaler’s
maximum power.
• Engaging the Turbo feature at a low power
setting causes a significant boost in power.
• Engaging the Turbo feature at high power
will produce very little change.
• Since water flow is not affected by “Turbo
Mode”, extended procedures may require a
water adjustment.
• Partially lifting your foot off the foot-pedal
will return the scaler to normal, “non-
Turbo” mode, and the yellow “TURBO”
light will go out.
CONTROLLING THE WATER FLOW
Observing the arrow printed on the control
panel, turn the water control counter-
clockwise to increase the flow, or clockwise to
decrease water flow. If water does not flow
through the tip when the foot-pedal is
depressed, consult the Troubleshooting
Section of this manual.
