* Note: When tightening a Microtip the tip must not be in contact w ith the w ork surface.  
Alw ays have the tip ext ending off of the table or w ork surface to minimize stress to the 
tip. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

System Cleaning Instructions 

The generator and converter may be cleaned using an acid-free cleaning solution (i.e. glass 
cleaner).   
 
Probes should be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol.  Probes are made from titanium and can 
be autoclaved (the converter is an electrical part and cannot  be sterilized in this manner).   
Before each procedure place the probe tip in w ater or alcohol and turn the pow er on for a 
few  seconds t o remove residue.  The tip also can be sterilized using alcohol w ith t he pow er 
on.
