SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE

1. Carbon brushes in handpiece motors are designed for a long life (approximately 1,000 hours). Carbon brushes should be replaced periodically (approximately once a year).

2. Keep clean from dust and grinding residues as best possible.

3. Wipe handpiece only with isopropyl alcohol and avoid getting inside wet. It is normal for the handpiece to feel slightly warm after continued use.

4. Avoid using rusty or eccentric burrs as this will cause excess wear on the bearings. Follow safety speeds and precautions recommended by the burr manufacturer. Always wear a dust mask, eye protection, and use adequate suction or ventilation.

5. Do not drop the handpiece at any time as this may cause damage to the bearings. In the event the handpiece is dropped, please check that the burr is not bent and resume use carefully, checking for excess noise or heat.
If damaged, send to The Dentist’s Choice of Southwest Florida for service.

PRECAUTIONS

1. When using electric tools, use basic safety precautions thus reducing risks of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
2. Never expose electric tools to water, or use in damp or wet locations.
3. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating, as they can be caught in the drill.
4. Do not attempt to service or repair handpiece, control box, or the foot pedal. There are no user serviceable parts in the equipment other than changing the motor brushes or handpiece cord. Repairs should be referred to the manufacturer, dealer or authorized service center.
5. Never oil, lubricate, or grease the handpiece (This will only lead to further damage of the greased sealed bearings).
6. Do not attempt to open collet (release burr) while handpiece is running.
7. Only switch forward or reverse direction after the motor has completely stopped.
8. Never sterilize or autoclave. Do not get handpiece wet (except for the front-end attachments with the “E”-type motor).
9. When your machine is not in use, power switch should be turned to off position.
10. Do not run handpiece without a burr properly locked in place
