Please observe the safety instructions and warnings on the
relevant pages when working with attachments.
Mounting the attachments
Insert the attachment into the front of the attachment cou-
pling and turn until the positioning pins lock into the grooves
of the unlocking ring. Applying slight pressure, turn the at-
tachment clockwise until it has completely locked into posi-
tion. Check that it is fitted properly by lightly pulling
the attachment.
Removing the attachments
Turn the unlocking ring for the attachment coupling
2
(see page 8) clockwise and remove the attachment.
Precautions:
To prevent injury, the tool must be locked with
the safety system (see page 7) during each manipulation.
Make sure not to press the triggers when mounting and re-
moving the attachments.
Only use original attachments and tools from Synthes.
Damage that might arise from using attachments and tools
of other manufacturers is not covered by the war ranty.
Properly functioning attachments are essential to the success
of an operation.
For this reason, used attachments must be checked for wear
and/or damage after each use and replaced if necessary.
Precaution:
During reaming procedure, high torque values
must be provided by the power tool to the reaming head to
allow efficient bone removal. In cases where the reaming
head suddenly is blocked, these high torque values can be
transferred onto the user’s hand, wrist and/or the patient’s
body. In order to prevent injuries it therefore is essential that:
– The power tool is held in an ergonomic position with a
firm grip.
– If the reamer head blocks, the speed trigger is released
immediately.
– The correct function of the speed trigger (immediate stop
of the system when the trigger is released) is checked be-
fore the reaming process.
