available or mandated by the professional or regulang agencies.
RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the dental professional using this device to be
fully trained in the proper use of ultrasonic scalers. The operator must
be observant of possible changes in performance during a procedure
and immediately disconnue use of this product, and determine the
cause of such changes in performance before connuing dental
procedures. Performance varies slightly between manufacturers of
ultrasonic scalers, so the operator must become familiar with the
operang parameters, and adjustments of this parcular device.
Performance varies between Ultrasonic Inserts due to the style insert,
model insert, and from the age and/or modicaons of the insert.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
 The exible Water Input Hose is subject to deterioraon by
aging, chemicals in the water supply, excessive exing, and
pressure uctuaons. As an added precauon, the water supply
should be turned OFF at the end of the day. REMEMBER to turn
the water back ON prior to use the next day.
 The AUTOSCALER® should NOT be used for restorave dental
procedures involving the CONDENSATION OF AMALGAM.

 The AUTOSCALER® should NOT be used on or near anyone ed
with a CARDIAC PACEMAKER.
 Do not remove the cover from the unit. There are NO user
serviceable parts inside. Allow only qualied technicians to service
your AUTOSCALER®.
 DO NOT AUTOCLAVE the detachable HANDPIECE assembly. A
Federally approved non-immersion WATER BASED cold
sterilizaon soluon may be used on the detachable handpiece
assembly. However, DO NOT get sterilizaon soluons on the
electrical contacts of the Handpiece CONNECTOR as this will cause
oxidaon, and a poor electrical connecon. DRY ALL SURFACES
with clean air or clean paper towels.
 If your unit is le ON, and the footswitch is accidentally depressed
while unaended, this will permanently damage your unit. Be sure
nothing is touching the operatory air foot switch when not in use.
INFECTION CONTROL
 Manufacturer recommends that all operators of this ultrasonic
unit wear at least one pair of surgical rubber gloves, and for extra
prevenon wear double pairs of gloves to isolate the operator
from infecon, and cross contaminaon of other paents.
 It is recommended that complete eye and face protecon be used
during the use of this unit to prevent saliva spray from being
inhaled, and from entering the operator’s eyes.
 Operator should be careful not to puncture the skin with any
insert p containing saliva from paents. Insert ps should be
sterilized aer each paent according to the insert manufacturer’s
instrucons.
 DO NOT AUTOCLAVE the detachable HANDPIECE assembly. A
Federally approved non-immersion WATER BASED cold
sterilizaon soluon may be used on the detachable handpiece
assembly. However, DO NOT get sterilizaon soluons on the
electrical contacts of the Handpiece CONNECTOR as this will cause
oxidaon, and a poor electrical connecon. DRY ALL SURFACES
with clean air or clean paper towels.
 Manufacturer recommends the use of a disposable handpiece
sleeve/barrier that keeps contaminaon from geng on the
handpiece assembly. Dispose of sleeve/barrier aer each paent.
Ask your local dealer for HIGH SPEED LONG sleeve/barrier.

INTRODUCTION
Your South East Instruments AUTOSCALER® Ultrasonic Scaler is a
precision engineered instrument, constructed with the nest of
materials, and requiring no special maintenance. By taking the
following precauons your unit will give you many years of service.
1. Do not place unit on or near any source of heat.
2. Clean the outer surfaces of the AUTOSCALER® with a Federally
approved non-immersion WATER BASED cold sterilizaon soluon.
Dry immediately with clean air or clean paper towels.
3. Unit should be located where a normal amount of air will circulate
freely around the case when in use.
4. The handpiece and Quick Connector are very strong but care
should be taken NOT TO PULL with excessive force.
Basically, the unit consists of three major components: the electronic
generator, the water system, and the handpiece assembly.
ELECTRONIC GENERATOR AND WATER SYSTEM
The electronic generator produces the frequency and the power to
acvate a wide variety of interchangeable Cavitron® insert ps. The
water system provides precise control over the water lavage ow
which serves to wash debris from the work area, and to cool the
laminaons of the insert p. The following controls are found on the
front panel of your AUTOSCALER®:
 Toggle Switch : To turn unit On and O.
 Indicator L.E.D. Lamp (above the switch) which lights when the
Toggle Switch is set to the ON-I posion, indicang the unit is
ready for operaon.
 Power Control Knob: The Linear Power Control knob adjusts the
output power to the insert p. The blue
shaded area is for use when using
Cavitron® SLIMLINE™, FSI™ or modied
Periodontal inserts. It is recommended
the Power not be set higher than 12:00
even if no mist appears at the p.
Slimline inserts do not easily mist
the water, and are very fragile at higher
power sengs. FOLLOW INSERT
MANUFACTURER'S COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS.

7
 Water Control Knob: For adjusng the ow of water to the
handpiece and insert p. To obtain the necessary water ow of at
least (18cc - 30cc/+/minute) turn the WATER KNOB clockwise.
HIGHER water ow to the RIGHT, and LOWER water ow to the
LEFT.
 Handpiece Panel Receptacle: Accepts the male side of the
Handpiece connector with lock ring.
HANDPIECE ASSEMBLY
The handpiece assembly is used to accept Cavitron® interchangeable
insert ps. It is connected to the AUTOSCALER® front panel by a Quick
Connector. The open end of the handpiece will accept all Cavitron®
brand: "P", "TFI™", “SLIMLINE™” or “FSI™” style 25,000Hz (25K)
inserts. If you ordered a 30,000Hz (30K) model AUTOSCALER®, you
must use the shorter (30K) frequency insert ps.
 30K ps measure (Shorter style approx. 6.25 inches long)
 25K ps measure (Longer style approx. 7.25 inches long)
(25K) inserts will NOT work in your 30K unit.
(30K) inserts will NOT work in your 25K unit.
Inserts are extremely FRAGILE. If one is dropped, bent, or scratched it
WILL NOT cavitate (i.e. will not funcon) or funcon by operang at a
higher than normal temperature, and should be replaced immediately.
Insert ps should be rounely replaced according to insert
manufacturer's recommendaons.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A GROUNDED wall receptacle is required supplying a voltage range
of 110-125 volts 50/60 Hz A.C. If a 3 to 2 prong adapter is used, the
ground wire MUST be connected to the base plate screw. Have an
electrician test your outlet for correct wiring polarity and a safe
ground. Do not assume the ground is complete. If you plug the
AUTOSCALER® in a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt ) outlet it may trip the
socket due to the high sensivity of the socket. If this occurs plug the
AUTOSCALER® into a non-GFI socket.

INSTALLING THE HANDPIECE ASSEMBLY
1. Align the electrical contacts of the MALE connector with the same on
the FEMALE panel connector.
2. Gently insert the connector. It should slide in with very lile eort. If
the connector does not align, DO NOT force it. Turn the CONNECTOR
BODY in either direcon unl the connector correctly aligns and goes
in.
3. Once the connector has been completely inserted, screw the OUTSIDE
LOCK RING to the RIGHT with light nger pressure unl it stops. DO
NOT over ghten the lock ring, be careful not to cross thread the lock
ring.
4. To remove the connector, unscrew the lock ring to the le, and gently
pull outward grasping the enre connector body.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
DO NOT use your AUTOSCALER® unl all of the following steps have been
completed.
1. Upon receipt of your unit carefully unpack it and see that the Toggle
Switch is in the OFF-O posion.
2. The Water Control Knob should be in the HIGH posion by turning
the water control knob all the way to the RIGHT.
3. Set the Power Knob all the way to the LEFT in the LOW posion.
4. Plug the male Water Quick Release Valve water connector into the
Dental operatory or have a plumber install a SHUT OFF style FEMALE
connector. A minimum of (20 P.S.I.) water input pressure and a
maximum of (60 P.S.I.) is needed from the operatory for proper oper-
aon of the AUTOSCALER®. It is recommended that water line ltra-
on be used to remove larger parcles before entering the scaler.
5. Plug the power cord into the wall (see electrical requirements). Press
the toggle switch to the ON-I posion. The L.E.D. light above the
switch should be ON (“I” posion).
6. Select an insert. Moisten the rubber O-RING before inserng into
the handpiece. While holding the handpiece UPRIGHT place the
insert in the open end of the handpiece and with a gentle PRESS and
TURN moon, snap the insert in fully. DO NOT force the insert.
7. Manufacturer recommends the use of a disposable handpiece
sleeve/barrier be used over the handpiece assembly. Place the
sleeve/barrier over the handpiece. While holding the sleeve/
barrier in place, puncture the insert through the plasc at the open
end of the handpiece, and snap the insert in fully. Dispose of
sleeve/barrier aer each paent.
8. Due to atmospheric exposure and exposure to sterilizaon soluons
the O-RING on the insert p may become swollen, brile, or crack,
and require replacement.

9
9. Hold the handpiece in a VERTICAL upright posion and step on the
foot switch. Within 10-15 seconds water should come out of
10. Inserts and handpiece will burn in 45-60 seconds in the absence of
water. A (18cc—30cc/+/min) ow is the normal ow range, and
necessary at all mes. NEVER touch the Cavitang/Vibrang end of the
insert p to any esh such as the cheek, tongue, or gums unless
performing special periodontal procedures. This will cause a FRICTION
BURN to the paent. Always keep the insert in moon, do not rest the
handle or insert on the lips during a procedure. The insert p should
touch primarily the calculus on the tooth surface and NOT the enamel
of the tooth surface.
11. Allow the air bubbles to escape for about 10-20 seconds. Turn the
POWER KNOB to the RIGHT in the Medium posion and the insert p
should Cavitate/Vibrate with a strong mist. Turn the water knob to
the right if there is no mist or weak misng.
12. The applicaon of the power knob is for controlling the Output Power
to the insert p in a smooth linear acon. The operator can select the
EXACT power needed for cleaning. Set power knob LOW (Le Direcon)
to MEDIUM (Center) for cooler handpiece/insert temperature.
13. The high power seng is for applicaons where an excessive amount
of calculus is built up. The Low power seng can be used for
periodontal Subgingival cureage and root planing procedures. Most
scaling should be done only on the LOW to MEDIUM power seng.
14. If SLIMLINE™, FSI™ or Modied Periodontal inserts are used set the
POWER Knob in the BLUE shaded area. This power level is designed to
be used with these fragile specialty inserts. Inserts may give a drip and
mist combinaon, this is normal for these inserts. This is actually
preferred by most Periodontal professionals due to the water drip
being ultrasonically acvated within 0.5mm of the p assisng in killing
plaque.
UNIT IS NOW READY FOR USE
the open end of the handpiece IF NOT, QUICKLY
turn WATER KNOB clockwise to get water ow,
some air will escape at the same me. This step is
IMPORTANT because trapped air will cause HOT
SPOTS (usually noted by a loud screeching sound)
which can aect the performance of the
AUTOSCALER® or permanently damage the
handpiece assembly.
10
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
1. IMPORTANT: At the end of the work day turn o the water supply to
the AUTOSCALER® by disconnecng the QUICK RELEASE VALVE water
connector or shung o the main operatory water supply. This will
prevent water damage to your oce by aging or unseen defects in
water lines that could rupture under connuous pressure.
2. Purge water from the AUTOSCALER® water hose and plumbing system
at the end of the day.
• Connect the QUICK RELEASE VALVE water connector to an air
source.
• Turn the Power Knob to the Le to the lowest seng and the
Water Knob to the Right to the highest seng.
• Press the Toggle switch to the ON-I posion
• Hold the handpiece assembly over a basin and step on the
footswitch and run the scaler just unl all water is expelled via
the handpiece assembly.
3. Press the Toggle Switch to the OFF-O posion. The light should be o.
4. Reconnect the QUICK RELEASE VALVE water connector to the water
supply.
5. REMEMBER to reconnect (turn on) the water the next day before
usage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit does not funcon, proceed with the following:
1. If the power L.E.D. light above the switch is not lit, replace the FUSE
on the rear panel with a "LITTLE FUSE" 2 amp Fast Blow style. If the
fuse opens again DO NOT aempt to replace the fuse as this indicates
a serious condion that must be examined by the factory. Call for
service [phone].
2. Check the plug. Is it all the way in the receptacle?
3. Try another insert. Make sure it is the correct frequency, 25K or 30K,
depending on your model. Each model has a frequency (25K or 30K)
label on the cover and the frequency is also indicated on the serial
number plate located on the back of the device. The most common
mistake when purchasing a new unit is selecng the wrong
frequency insert.
4. If water ow is insucient, check water pressure at the operatory for
minimum of 20 P.S.I. The Insert Water slot could be clogged with
debris. Try another insert. See if the QUICK RELEASE VALVE water
connector is locked fully in place.
5. If the handpiece handle or insert operates HOT: REDUCE POWER
LEVEL and INCREASE WATER FLOW.

11
6. NEVER touch the Cavitang/Vibrang end of the insert p to any
FLESH such as the cheek, tongue, or gums unless performing special
periodontal procedures, this will cause a fricon burn to the paent.
Always keep the insert in moon. Do not rest the handle or insert on
the lips during a procedure. The insert p should touch PRIMARILY the
calculus on the tooth surface, and NOT the enamel of the tooth
surface.
7. If the AUTOSCALER® stops funconing or is intermient when the
handpiece cord is moved, this means a wire in the handpiece cord is
broken and must be immediately repaired or replaced. DO NOT
connue to press the foot switch as there is a possibility the internal
circuit safety fuse may blow and require replacement by a qualied
technician.
8. If handpiece service is needed: Turn the unit OFF. Carefully unscrew
the outer lock ring of the handpiece assembly to the LEFT and gently
unplug the handpiece from the front panel. You can call your dealer
for assistance or SEI at [phone] for further instrucon.
9. If a humming or high pitch sound is noted from the console during
roune use, this is a normal circuit resonance which will change as the
POWER control knob is adjusted up and down, and will not aect the
performance of your AUTOSCALER®.
10. Slimline™ and FSI™ inserts are extremely thin and FRAGILE. During
normal use the water may not mist like standard inserts (i.e. like a
TFI#10 curee p); however, the cleaning acon is just a eecve. It is
recommended the Power knob be set in the LOW posion (Blue area)
to assure best performance.
Call your dealer or customer service at South East Instruments for
further instrucons at [phone] to help you with quesons and
what to do next.
SCALING TECHNIQUES
Scaling techniques are at the opon of the professional using this
instrument.
1. Excessive pressure is not necessary with the AUTOSCALER®. Use a
gentle, rapid moon with small overlapping strokes, being certain that
the insert is at a 15 degree angle to the tooth surface.
2. If paent Hypersensivity is noted, you should lighten pressure on the
handpiece, Reduce the Power Level or move from the sensive tooth
to another and return to the tooth later. If sensivity persists, switch
to a hand instrument.

BUILD-IN MODEL INSTALLATION GUIDE
This GUIDE is to assist the technician. Most dental chairs ulize similar
conguraons. It is the responsibility of the technician to properly
install and conrm proper funcon with the parcular chair
manufacturer conguraon.
DO NOT aempt to install this device without an independent air/
water block with automac handpiece holder. The technician must
be familiar with dental chair air water logic to correctly install this
device. Most installaons convert the exisng 3rd or 4th air/water
high or low speed drill block for this purpose.
There MUST be (4) 18
GAUGE wires running from
the juncon box,
THROUGH THE ARM to the
tray for handpiece and power
control connecons.
The handpiece and
(POWER CONTROL)
are mounted on the (tray).
An (AUTOMATIC
HOLDER) must be used
for the Autoscaler®
handpiece.
The AUTOSCALER® (CONSOLE) is mounted under the chair or
(JUNCTION BOX). NOTE: If the AUTOSCALER® receives an air signal
from another source (i.e. high speed or low speed drill) it can damage
the device and the handpiece assembly.
WATER FLOW to the handpiece is received from the air/water block (NEEDLE
VALVE). When the main air rheostat is pressed, an air signal is sent to the
AUTOSCALER® console to (cavitate the insert) and the air/water block opens to
release water ow to the handpiece. Quickly adjust the water knob to get
water owing.

15
If no water is present:
 The handpiece will become overheated and damage the
handpiece within 45-60 seconds.
 Do not acvate the AUTOSCALER® without an insert in the
handpiece. This can cause the internal coil to overheat and
damage the handpiece.
Connecons on the console are:
 Front Panel - Connector for handpiece and power control wires.
 Black and Red wires are for the HANDPIECE. There is NO
POLARITY for the handpiece wires.
 2 Yellow wires are for the POWER CONTROL. There is NO
POLARITY for the power control wires.
 ALL WIRES MUST BE 18 GAUGE. THINNER WIRE WILL RESULT IN
THE WIRE HEATING AND LOSS OF POWER and/or TUNING.
 Rear Panel - Air input line yellow 1/16” to receive the
independent acvaon signal (20 to 60 PSI Range) from the
dedicated air/water block (chip/drive air). BE SURE when the
AUTOSCALER® handpiece is picked up from the automac
holder, no other air handpieces are acvated. Verify that when
a high or low speed drill is removed from the automac holder
the AUTOSCALER® does not receive an air signal and acvate. If
so, it will permanently damage the AUTOSCALER®. Only ONE
handpiece should acvate at a me when picked from the
holder.
 Rear Panel - AC power plug on rear panel.
Enclosed: (10) Scotchlok 557 wire connectors to complete your wire

RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the dental professional using this device to be
fully trained in the proper use of ultrasonic scalers. The operator must
be observant of possible changes in performance during a procedure
and immediately disconnue use of this product and determine the
cause of such changes in performance before connuing dental
procedures. Performance varies slightly between manufacturers of
ultrasonic scalers, so the operator must become familiar with the
operang parameters, and adjustments of this parcular device.
Performance varies between Ultrasonic Inserts due to the style insert,
model insert, and from the age and/or modicaons of the insert.
DAILY PROCEDURES
 At the end of the work day shut o ALL operatory Air and Water
supplies. This will prevent water damage to your oce by aging or
unseen defects in water lines that could rupture under connuous
pressure.
 REMEMBER to turn back on the next day before usage.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
 As an added precauon, the water supply should be turned OFF at
the end of the day. REMEMBER to turn the water back ON prior to
use the next day.
 The AUTOSCALER® should NOT be used for restorave dental
procedures involving the CONDENSATION OF AMALGAM.
 The AUTOSCALER® should NOT be used on or near anyone ed
with a CARDIAC PACEMAKER.
 Do not remove the cover from the unit. There are NO user
serviceable parts inside. Allow only qualied technicians to service
your AUTOSCALER®.
 Do not remove the internal air restrictor. This is a safety device
and must not be removed.
 DO NOT AUTOCLAVE the HANDPIECE assembly. A Federally
approved non-immersion WATER BASED cold sterilizaon soluon
may be used on the handpiece assembly. DRY ALL SURFACES with
clean air or clean paper towels.
 If your unit is le ON, and the footswitch is accidentally depressed
while unaended, this will permanently damage your unit. Be sure
nothing is touching the operatory air foot switch when not in use.
18
INFECTION CONTROL
 Manufacturer recommends that all operators of this ultrasonic
unit wear at least one pair of surgical rubber gloves, and for extra
prevenon wear double pairs of gloves to isolate the operator
from infecon, and cross contaminaon of other paents.
 It is recommended that complete eye and face protecon be used
during the use of this unit to prevent saliva spray from being
inhaled, and from entering the operator’s eyes.
 Operator should be careful not to puncture the skin with any
insert p containing saliva from paents. Insert ps should be
sterilized aer each paent according to the insert manufacturer’s
instrucons.
 DO NOT Autoclave the handpiece assembly. Federally approved
non-immersion WATER BASED cold sterilizaon soluons may be
used on the handpiece assembly. DRY ALL SURFACES with clean air
or clean paper towels.
 Manufacturer recommends the use of a disposable handpiece
sleeve/barrier that keeps contaminaon from geng on the
handpiece assembly. Dispose of sleeve/barrier aer each paent.
Ask your local dealer for HIGH SPEED LONG sleeve/barrier.
INTRODUCTION
Your South East Instruments AUTOSCALER® Ultrasonic Scaler BUILD-IN
UNIT, is a precision engineered instrument, constructed with the nest
of materials. By taking the following precauons your unit will give you
many years of service.
The AUTOSCALER® BUILD-IN unit is NOT a table top user installaon
product. It must be installed by a qualied technician knowledgeable
in Dental Operatory Air circuitry and Water systems.
1. Do not place unit on or near any source of heat.
2. Unit should be located where a normal amount of air will circulate
freely around the case when in use.
3. The handpiece is very strong but care should be taken NOT TO
PULL with excessive force.

19
Basically, the unit consists of two major components, the Electronic
Generator and the Handpiece Assembly (Water Source is also NECESSARY
but not supplied with this model). The Water Supply is used from the
Dental operatory, and must be applied/congured by a qualied technician.
ELECTRONIC GENERATOR AND WATER SYSTEM
The electronic generator produces the frequency and the power to acvate a
wide variety of interchangeable INSERT TIPS. A Water System/SUPPLY MUST BE
ATTACHED to your unit to provide precise control over the water ow which
serves to wash debris from the work area, and to cool the laminaons of the
insert p. The following is a brief descripon of controls needed for the proper
operaon of your AUTOSCALER®:
 The AIR SOURCE (20 PSIG) minimum is required, and (must be
installed by a qualied technician) providing an independent supply of
air to your AUTOSCALER® unit.
 POWER CONTROL KNOB: The linear Power Control knob adjusts the
output power to the insert p (must be installed by a qualied technician).
 WATER CONTROL (supplied by the dental operatory, and is not part
of the AUTOSCALER® unit) is for adjusng the ow of water to the
handpiece, and insert p. To obtain the NECESSARY water ow of at
least (18cc - 30cc/+/minute) - i.e. a very strong mist, it may require more
than ONE or MORE complete rotaons of the knob in either direcon.
Depending on the water regulator supplied in your operatory the following
applies: HIGHER water ow to the RIGHT, and LOWER water ow to the
LEFT. Some water regulators adjust the opposite (more ow to le and less to
the right). Become familiar with your controls rst before performing any
dental procedures on paents.
HANDPIECE ASSEMBLY
The handpiece assembly is used to accept Cavitron® interchangeable
insert ps. It is connected to the AUTOSCALER® through specially
routed wires in your operatory (INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN
ONLY). The open end of the handpiece will accept all Cavitron® brand:
"P", "TFI™", “SLIMLINE™” or “FSI™” style 25,000Hz (25K) inserts. If you
ordered a 30,000Hz (30K) model AUTOSCALER® you must use the
shorter (30K) frequency insert ps.
 30K ps measure (Shorter style approx. 6.25 inches long)
 25K ps measure (Longer style approx. 7.25 inches long)
*Cavitron®, SLIMLINE™, FSI™, and TFI™ are registered trade marks of Dentsply Sirona
30K
25K
20
(25K) inserts will NOT work in your 30K unit.
(30K) inserts will NOT work in your 25K unit.
Inserts are extremely FRAGILE . If one is dropped, bent, or scratched it
WILL NOT cavitate (i.e. will not funcon) or funcon by operang at a
higher than normal temperature and should be replaced immediately.
Insert ps should be rounely replaced according to insert
manufacturer's recommendaons.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A GROUNDED electrical receptacle is required supplying 120-130
volts 50/60 Hz A.C. If a 3 to 2 prong adapter is used, the ground wire
MUST be connected to the base plate screw. Have an electrician test
your outlet for correct wiring polarity and a safe ground. DO NOT plug
the AUTOSCALER® in a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt ) outlet.
HANDPIECE—POWER CONTROL POT INSTALLATION
 Two 18 gauge wires must be routed between the AUTOSCALER®
console and the handpiece assembly. Thinner wire may result in
poor tuning/operaon or non funcon.
 Two 18 gauge wires must be routed between the AUTOSCALER®
unit and the Power Control Pot. A minimum of ½ wa rang @ 5K
ohms is required if substung the power control pot with
another brand/style.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. The Water Control Knob should be in the HIGH posion. It is
normal for the Knob to turn past the High posion several
rotaons which will increase water ow substanally.
Depending on the water regulator supplied in your operatory the
following applies: HIGHER water ow to the RIGHT and LOWER
water ow to the LEFT. Some water regulators adjust the opposite
(more ow to le and less to the right). Become familiar with your
controls rst before performing any dental procedures on
paents.
2. Your unit is equipped with a AIR SWITCH ACTIVATOR. The air
supply must be aached to the rear of the unit, and a minimum
of ( 20 PSIG ) is necessary to acvate the switch. DO NOT
REMOVE THE INTERNAL AIR RESTRICTOR FITTING. The restrictor
relieves the air input line if accidentally charged from another air

21
source without a purge cycle. The scaler air line will bleed o to
zero pressure protecng the AUTOSCALER®.
3. Plug the power cord into the wall (see electrical requirements).
4. Select an insert. Moisten the rubber O-RING before inserng into
the handpiece. While holding the handpiece, UPRIGHT, place the
insert in the open end of the handpiece, and with a gentle PRESS
and TURN moon, snap the insert in fully. DO NOT force the insert.
5. Manufacturer recommends the use of a disposable handpiece
sleeve/barrier be used over the handpiece assembly. Place the
sleeve/barrier over the handpiece. While holding the sleeve/
barrier in place, puncture the insert through the plasc at the
open end of the handpiece, and snap the insert in fully. Dispose of
sleeve/barrier aer each paent.
6. Due to atmospheric exposure, and exposure to sterilizaon
soluons, the O-RING on the insert p may become swollen,
brile, or crack, and require replacement.
7. Set the POWER KNOB all the way to the LEFT in the LOW posion
8. Hold the handpiece in a VERTICAL upright posion, and step on
the foot switch. Within 10-15 seconds water should come out of
9. Inserts and handpiece will burn in 45-60 seconds in the absence
of water. A (18cc—30cc/+/min) ow is the normal ow range, and
necessary at all mes. NEVER touch the Cavitang/Vibrang end
of the insert p to any esh such as the cheek, tongue, or gums
unless performing special periodontal procedures. This will cause a
FRICTION BURN to the paent. Always keep the insert in moon.
Do not rest the handle or insert on the lips during a procedure.
The insert p should touch primarily the calculus on the tooth
surface, and NOT the enamel of the tooth surface.
10. Allow the air bubbles to escape for about 10-20 seconds. Turn the
POWER KNOB to the RIGHT in the Medium posion, and the
insert p should Cavitate/Vibrate with a strong mist. Turn the
water knob to the right if there is no mist or weak misng.
the open end of the handpiece IF NOT, QUICKLY
turn WATER KNOB clockwise 1-2 rotaons to get
water ow. Some air will escape at the same
me. This step is IMPORTANT because trapped
air will cause HOT SPOTS (usually noted by a
loud screeching sound) which can aect the
performance of the AUTOSCALER® or
permanently damage the handpiece assembly.
22
11. The applicaon of the power knob is for controlling the Output
Power to the insert p in a smooth linear acon. The operator can
select the EXACT power needed for cleaning. Set power knob LOW
(Le Direcon) to MEDIUM (Center) for cooler handpiece/insert
temperature.
12. The high power seng is for applicaons where an excessive
amount of calculus is built up. The Low power seng can be used
for periodontal Subgingival cureage and root planing
procedures. Most scaling should be done only on the LOW to
MEDIUM power seng.
13. If SLIMLINE™, FSI™ or Modied Periodontal inserts are used, set
the POWER Knob in the BLUE shaded area. This power level is
designed to be used with these fragile specialty inserts. Inserts
may give a drip and mist combinaon, this is normal for these
inserts. This is actually preferred by most Periodontal
professionals due to the water drip being ultrasonically acvated
within 0.5mm of the p assisng in killing plaque.
UNIT IS NOW READY FOR USE
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
Be sure to shut o Air and Water supply to the scaler when
unaended. The installing service technician will indicate to the
operator which controls perform this acon.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit does not funcon, proceed with the following:
1. Check the plug. Is it all the way in the receptacle?
2. Try another insert. Make sure it is the correct frequency 25K or
30K depending on your model. Each model has a frequency (25K or
30K) label on the cover and the frequency is also indicated on the
serial number plate located on the boom of the device. The most
common mistake when purchasing a new unit is selecng the
wrong frequency insert.
3. If water ow is insucient, check water pressure at the operatory for
minimum of 20 P.S.I. The Insert Water slot could be clogged with
debris. Try another insert.
4. If the handpiece handle or insert operates HOT: REDUCE POWER
LEVEL and INCREASE WATER FLOW. Depending on the water
regulator supplied in your operatory the following applies: HIGHER
water ow to the RIGHT, and LOWER water ow to the LEFT. Some
water regulators adjust the opposite (more ow to le and less to the

23
right). Become familiar with your controls rst before performing any
dental procedures on paents.
5. NEVER touch the Cavitang/Vibrang end of the insert p to any
FLESH such as the cheek, tongue, or gums unless performing special
periodontal procedures. This will cause a fricon burn to the paent.
Always keep the insert in moon. Do not rest the handle or insert on
the lips during a procedure. The insert p should touch PRIMARILY the
calculus on the tooth surface, and NOT the enamel of the tooth
surface.
6. If the AUTOSCALER® stops funconing or is intermient when the
handpiece cord is moved, this means a wire in the handpiece cord is
broken and must be immediately repaired or replaced. DO NOT
connue to press the foot switch as there is a possibility the internal
circuit safety fuse may blow and require replacement by a qualied
technician.
7. If a humming or high pitch sound is noted from the console during
roune use, this is a normal circuit resonance which will change as the
POWER control knob is adjusted up and down, and will not aect the
performance of your AUTOSCALER®.
8. Slimline™ and FSI™ inserts are extremely thin and FRAGILE. During
normal use the water may not mist like standard inserts (i.e. like a
TFI#10 curee p). However, the cleaning acon is just as eecve. It
is recommended the Power knob be set in the LOW posion (Blue
area) to assure best performance.
Call your dealer or customer service at South East Instruments for
further instrucons at [phone] to help you with quesons and
what to do next.
SCALING TECHNIQUES
Scaling techniques are at the opon of the professional using this
instrument.
1. Excessive pressure is not necessary with the AUTOSCALER®. Use a
gentle, rapid moon with small overlapping strokes, being certain that
the insert is at a 15 degree angle to the tooth surface.
2. If paent Hypersensivity is noted, you should lighten pressure on the
handpiece, Reduce the Power Level, or move from the sensive tooth
to another, and return to the tooth later. If sensivity persists, switch
to a hand instrument.

SOLDERED TOGETHER, AND INSULATED WITH A “UL or CSA”
APPROVED SHRINK TUBING Hand twisng and taping of wire
connecons is NOT recommended. It may aect the performance and
safety of the installaon.
When installing the AUTOSCALER® build-in unit, the AIR SOURCE used
to acvate the scaler MUST be independent of all other operatory
equipment, and the supply line pressure must relieve to ZERO PSI aer
each acvaon. The AUTOSCALER® unit may be damaged by acvaon
while other equipment is in use if the air signal is not turned OFF to
the scaler, and line pressure fully relieved when not in use.
The AUTOSCALER® is internally ed from the factory with a pressure
relief valve (restrictor) and must not be removed. This restrictor helps
relieve line pressure aer each acvaon.
IMPORTANT: The AUTOSCALER® unit has been calibrated
ancipang approximately 15’ Fieen feet of 18 GAUGE wire will be
used in the installaon. DO NOT use any wire thinner than 18 GAUGE.
This will change the tuning (i.e. insert will not vibrate properly) of the
AUTOSCALER® and/or not funcon.

INSERT DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Ultrasonic inserts are accessory inserts designed for use with
magnetostricve scaler units, (see specicaons) that generate a
frequency of either 25KHz or 30KHz. A range of p designs are available to
suit dierent clinical condions. Finger-grips are either plasc or metal
and the water channel is either of internal or external design. These
inserts are designed to be used in magnetostricve ultrasonic scalers only
by professionally trained operators, such as Densts or Dental Hygienists,
to perform general supra and subgingival scaling procedures.

WATER FLOW
An adequate water ow seng, indicated by a small spray or rapid drips,
should be selected for the power seng used to prevent overheang of
the insert p during funcon, and to prevent possible injury.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Ensure that the insert is suitable for the frequency (25K or 30K) of the
scaler unit. Always sterilize inserts prior to each use in accordance with
the insert manufacturer’s instrucons. Always use a light, smooth, gentle
touch with a well-posioned stable intraoral or extraoral fulcrum. The
lateral surfaces of the insert are normally used for clinical procedures. In
the event that this insert is dropped or damaged or becomes bent, discard
the insert and replace with a new insert. Inserts with high usage, which
exceed the warranty period, should be discarded to avoid in-use breakage
and possible injury.
Inserts should not be used for condensaon of amalgam.
Care must be exercised to avoid iatrogenic results from the use of
ultrasonics in the presence of dental restoraons. Note that the p end or
other sharp aspect of an insert can scratch or otherwise modify the
surface of gold or amalgam restoraons. Thin porcelain veneers and
composite margins can be cracked or crazed by acvated ultrasonic ps.
Normal wear of the p occurs during funcon. When approximately 2 mm
of the p has worn the insert may lose up to 50% eciency, and should be
discarded. Contact with composite restoraons will cause more rapid
arion of ultrasonic inserts.
O-RINGS
Before placing inserts into the handpiece performing the following steps
will increase O-ring life.
1. Fill enre handpiece with water
2. Lubricate O-ring (black or green material) with water
3. Gently twist the insert down into the handpiece unl fully seated
UNIT POWER SETTINGS
1. DP#100, & DF#100 inserts should be used with minimum power
seng only on the unit.
2. DF#10, DF#1000 & DP#10 inserts should be used on low - medium
power seng.
3. DF#3 inserts may be used on medium - high power seng
As a rule the power seng on the unit should always be set at the
minimum and increased only as dictated by clinical requirements.
28
