Pilot²

During operation of the contra-angle, never exert pressure on its push button, as this could
lead to friction or incorrect measurements!
Due to the shape of the root canal, the endo files are bent and stressed during use. Although
the device reduces the risk of file breakage, file breakage cannot be completely eliminated.
Please make sure that you know the instruments’ permissible torques. Choose the right file.
Never use deformed or damaged files!
The menu offers a variety of setting options. All parameters such as speed, torque and
operating mode etc. may be changed individually.
Parameters that deviate from the instrument manufacturer’s specifications may lead to file
breakage and other damage. Schlumbohm
®
is not liable for damage caused by operating the
device in a way that deviates from the instrument manufacturer’s specifications.
To avoid file breakage, please note the following points:
•
Never apply pressure to insert the file or to move it forward.
•
Even Nickel-titanium files break due to material fatigue. Only prepare as many canals as
intended by the file manufacturer.
•
Experience and practice are indispensable for the effective use of Nitti instruments.
•
Practice handling extracted teeth or Endo plastic blocks.

Filling technique - DownPack (D-Pack)
Connect the DownPack handpiece (7) to the blue socket (1f) on the left side of the EndoPilot².
Only use the handpiece holder provided on the EndoPilot² for storage.
Note that the tip becomes very hot. It can reach a surface temperature of over 400°C without
a thermal load (without heating up the gutta-percha).
Do not use the tip in the air, without thermal load (without cooling)
Do not press the foot-switch several times repeatedly (pumping).
Using the heating tip:
Open the chuck by two turns of the screw-cap and insert the heating tip (8) (always insert
the shaft as far as possible). Fix the tip by tightening the screw-cap. Before use, check that
the heating tip is fixed firmly in position. A twisting tip may lead to injuries. You can use the
wrench (13) to loosen the screw-cap when necessary. Note the limited service life of the
heating tip. This varies depending on the frequency of use, load and deformation in each
case. Check the heating tip for function and mechanical integrity before each use. The use
of excessive force may lead to breakage and to injuries due to slipping.
Never use heating tips from other manufacturers!
Do not use the DownPack handpiece with the apex cable at the same time.
It is possible to heat up the tooth and the adjacent tissue by continuously introducing heat
into the treatment site. Ensure adequate waiting times and proceed with caution. Excessive
heating may lead to changes in the filling material’s properties.
LED DownPack:
Red light: DownPack is in operation, the heating process is running
(for application see chapter 5.1).
