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 precauons 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 sterilizaon soluon.
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
acvate 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
laminaons 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 posion, indicang the unit is
ready for operaon.
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 modied
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 sengs. FOLLOW INSERT
MANUFACTURER'S COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS.

7
Water Control Knob: For adjusng 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 funcon) or funcon by operang at a
higher than normal temperature, and should be replaced immediately.
Insert ps should be rounely replaced according to insert
manufacturer's recommendaons.
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 sensivity 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 lile eort. If
the connector does not align, DO NOT force it. Turn the CONNECTOR
BODY in either direcon unl 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 unl 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 enre connector body.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
DO NOT use your AUTOSCALER® unl 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 posion.
2. The Water Control Knob should be in the HIGH posion 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 posion.
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-
aon of the AUTOSCALER®. It is recommended that water line ltra-
on be used to remove larger parcles before entering the scaler.
5. Plug the power cord into the wall (see electrical requirements). Press
the toggle switch to the ON-I posion. The L.E.D. light above the
switch should be ON (“I” posion).
6. Select an insert. Moisten the rubber O-RING before inserng 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 moon, 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 plasc at the open
end of the handpiece, and snap the insert in fully. Dispose of
sleeve/barrier aer each paent.
8. Due to atmospheric exposure and exposure to sterilizaon soluons
the O-RING on the insert p may become swollen, brile, or crack,
and require replacement.

9
9. Hold the handpiece in a VERTICAL upright posion 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 Cavitang/Vibrang 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 paent. Always keep the insert in moon, 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 posion 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 misng.
12. The applicaon of the power knob is for controlling the Output Power
to the insert p in a smooth linear acon. The operator can select the
EXACT power needed for cleaning. Set power knob LOW (Le Direcon)
to MEDIUM (Center) for cooler handpiece/insert temperature.
13. The high power seng is for applicaons where an excessive amount
of calculus is built up. The Low power seng can be used for
periodontal Subgingival cureage and root planing procedures. Most
scaling should be done only on the LOW to MEDIUM power seng.
14. If SLIMLINE™, FSI™ or Modied 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 combinaon, this is normal for these inserts. This is actually
preferred by most Periodontal professionals due to the water drip
being ultrasonically acvated within 0.5mm of the p assisng 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 aect 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 disconnecng the QUICK RELEASE VALVE water
connector or shung o the main operatory water supply. This will
prevent water damage to your oce by aging or unseen defects in
water lines that could rupture under connuous 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 seng and the
Water Knob to the Right to the highest seng.
• Press the Toggle switch to the ON-I posion
• Hold the handpiece assembly over a basin and step on the
footswitch and run the scaler just unl all water is expelled via
the handpiece assembly.
3. Press the Toggle Switch to the OFF-O posion. 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 funcon, 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 aempt to replace the fuse as this indicates
a serious condion that must be examined by the factory. Call for
service (800) 648-9445.
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 selecng the wrong
frequency insert.
4. If water ow is insucient, 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 Cavitang/Vibrang end of the insert p to any
FLESH such as the cheek, tongue, or gums unless performing special
periodontal procedures, this will cause a fricon burn to the paent.
Always keep the insert in moon. 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 funconing or is intermient 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
connue to press the foot switch as there is a possibility the internal
circuit safety fuse may blow and require replacement by a qualied
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 (800) 648-9445 for further instrucon.
9. If a humming or high pitch sound is noted from the console during
roune use, this is a normal circuit resonance which will change as the
POWER control knob is adjusted up and down, and will not aect 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 curee p); however, the cleaning acon is just a eecve. It is
recommended the Power knob be set in the LOW posion (Blue area)
to assure best performance.
Call your dealer or customer service at South East Instruments for
further instrucons at (800) 648-9445 to help you with quesons and
what to do next.
SCALING TECHNIQUES
Scaling techniques are at the opon of the professional using this
instrument.
1. Excessive pressure is not necessary with the AUTOSCALER®. Use a
gentle, rapid moon with small overlapping strokes, being certain that
the insert is at a 15 degree angle to the tooth surface.
2. If paent Hypersensivity is noted, you should lighten pressure on the
handpiece, Reduce the Power Level or move from the sensive tooth
to another and return to the tooth later. If sensivity persists, switch
to a hand instrument.

BUILD-IN MODEL INSTALLATION GUIDE
This GUIDE is to assist the technician. Most dental chairs ulize similar
conguraons. It is the responsibility of the technician to properly
install and conrm proper funcon with the parcular chair
manufacturer conguraon.
DO NOT aempt to install this device without an independent air/
water block with automac handpiece holder. The technician must
be familiar with dental chair air water logic to correctly install this
device. Most installaons convert the exisng 3rd or 4th air/water
high or low speed drill block for this purpose.
There MUST be (4) 18
GAUGE wires running from
the juncon box,
THROUGH THE ARM to the
tray for handpiece and power
control connecons.
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 acvate the AUTOSCALER® without an insert in the
handpiece. This can cause the internal coil to overheat and
damage the handpiece.
Connecons 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 acvaon 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 automac
holder, no other air handpieces are acvated. Verify that when
a high or low speed drill is removed from the automac holder
the AUTOSCALER® does not receive an air signal and acvate. If
so, it will permanently damage the AUTOSCALER®. Only ONE
handpiece should acvate 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
connecons. Only 8 are needed and two are spares. Tools needed
are pliers to compress and secure the Scotchlok 557 connector. The
example on the following page shows one connecon for the power
control yellow wires connecng to the exisng wires from the
dental unit arm.
The exisng wires in the dental chair arm MUST be 18 gauge in
order not to overheat the wires and cause tuning and/or power
issues.
16
Example shows hookup of one of the 4
wires on the console side in the juncon
box. Insert one yellow wire into the
connector and one of the wires from the
chair arm.
Make sure both wires are inserted fully.
Take your pliers and pinch the metal
clamp fully unl it clicks and is at with
the plasc.
Fold over the plasc lid unl it locks. Repeat
process for other connecons. If the
Scotchlok 557 connector fails to complete
the connecon, the technician MUST
SOLDER the wires and apply a UL or CSA
approved heat shrink. DO NOT twist, tape or
use wire nuts for the connecons.
On the tray side repeat the same
method for the handpiece and power
control wires.

non-immersion WATER BASED cold sterilizaon soluons 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 contaminaon from geng on the
handpiece assembly. Dispose of sleeve/barrier aer each paent.
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 precauons your unit will give you
many years of service.
The AUTOSCALER® BUILD-IN unit is NOT a table top user installaon
product. It must be installed by a qualied 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/congured by a qualied technician.
ELECTRONIC GENERATOR AND WATER SYSTEM
The electronic generator produces the frequency and the power to acvate 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 laminaons of the
insert p. The following is a brief descripon of controls needed for the proper
operaon of your AUTOSCALER®:
The AIR SOURCE (20 PSIG) minimum is required, and (must be
installed by a qualied 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 qualied technician).
WATER CONTROL (supplied by the dental operatory, and is not part
of the AUTOSCALER® unit) is for adjusng 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 rotaons of the knob in either direcon.
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 paents.
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 funcon) or funcon by operang at a
higher than normal temperature and should be replaced immediately.
Insert ps should be rounely replaced according to insert
manufacturer's recommendaons.
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/operaon or non funcon.
Two 18 gauge wires must be routed between the AUTOSCALER®
unit and the Power Control Pot. A minimum of ½ wa rang @ 5K
ohms is required if substung the power control pot with
another brand/style.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. The Water Control Knob should be in the HIGH posion. It is
normal for the Knob to turn past the High posion several
rotaons which will increase water ow substanally.
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
paents.
2. Your unit is equipped with a AIR SWITCH ACTIVATOR. The air
supply must be aached to the rear of the unit, and a minimum
of ( 20 PSIG ) is necessary to acvate 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 protecng the AUTOSCALER®.
3. Plug the power cord into the wall (see electrical requirements).
4. Select an insert. Moisten the rubber O-RING before inserng 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 moon, 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 plasc at the
open end of the handpiece, and snap the insert in fully. Dispose of
sleeve/barrier aer each paent.
6. Due to atmospheric exposure, and exposure to sterilizaon
soluons, the O-RING on the insert p may become swollen,
brile, or crack, and require replacement.
7. Set the POWER KNOB all the way to the LEFT in the LOW posion
8. Hold the handpiece in a VERTICAL upright posion, 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 Cavitang/Vibrang 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 paent. Always keep the insert in moon.
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 posion, 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 misng.
the open end of the handpiece IF NOT, QUICKLY
turn WATER KNOB clockwise 1-2 rotaons 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 aect the
performance of the AUTOSCALER® or
permanently damage the handpiece assembly.
22
11. The applicaon of the power knob is for controlling the Output
Power to the insert p in a smooth linear acon. The operator can
select the EXACT power needed for cleaning. Set power knob LOW
(Le Direcon) to MEDIUM (Center) for cooler handpiece/insert
temperature.
12. The high power seng is for applicaons where an excessive
amount of calculus is built up. The Low power seng can be used
for periodontal Subgingival cureage and root planing
procedures. Most scaling should be done only on the LOW to
MEDIUM power seng.
13. If SLIMLINE™, FSI™ or Modied 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 combinaon, this is normal for these
inserts. This is actually preferred by most Periodontal
professionals due to the water drip being ultrasonically acvated
within 0.5mm of the p assisng 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
unaended. The installing service technician will indicate to the
operator which controls perform this acon.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit does not funcon, 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 boom of the device. The most
common mistake when purchasing a new unit is selecng the
wrong frequency insert.
3. If water ow is insucient, 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 paents.
5. NEVER touch the Cavitang/Vibrang end of the insert p to any
FLESH such as the cheek, tongue, or gums unless performing special
periodontal procedures. This will cause a fricon burn to the paent.
Always keep the insert in moon. 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 funconing or is intermient 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
connue to press the foot switch as there is a possibility the internal
circuit safety fuse may blow and require replacement by a qualied
technician.
7. If a humming or high pitch sound is noted from the console during
roune use, this is a normal circuit resonance which will change as the
POWER control knob is adjusted up and down, and will not aect 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 curee p). However, the cleaning acon is just as eecve. It
is recommended the Power knob be set in the LOW posion (Blue
area) to assure best performance.

further instrucons at (800) 648-9445 to help you with quesons and
what to do next.
SCALING TECHNIQUES
Scaling techniques are at the opon of the professional using this
instrument.
1. Excessive pressure is not necessary with the AUTOSCALER®. Use a
gentle, rapid moon with small overlapping strokes, being certain that
the insert is at a 15 degree angle to the tooth surface.
2. If paent Hypersensivity is noted, you should lighten pressure on the
handpiece, Reduce the Power Level, or move from the sensive tooth
to another, and return to the tooth later. If sensivity persists, switch
to a hand instrument.

SOLDERED TOGETHER, AND INSULATED WITH A “UL or CSA”
APPROVED SHRINK TUBING Hand twisng and taping of wire
connecons is NOT recommended. It may aect the performance and
safety of the installaon.
When installing the AUTOSCALER® build-in unit, the AIR SOURCE used
to acvate the scaler MUST be independent of all other operatory
equipment, and the supply line pressure must relieve to ZERO PSI aer
each acvaon. The AUTOSCALER® unit may be damaged by acvaon
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 aer each acvaon.
IMPORTANT: The AUTOSCALER® unit has been calibrated
ancipang approximately 15’ Fieen feet of 18 GAUGE wire will be
used in the installaon. 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 funcon.

WATER FLOW
An adequate water ow seng, indicated by a small spray or rapid drips,
should be selected for the power seng used to prevent overheang of
the insert p during funcon, 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 instrucons. Always use a light, smooth, gentle
touch with a well-posioned 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 condensaon of amalgam.
Care must be exercised to avoid iatrogenic results from the use of
ultrasonics in the presence of dental restoraons. Note that the p end or
other sharp aspect of an insert can scratch or otherwise modify the
surface of gold or amalgam restoraons. Thin porcelain veneers and
composite margins can be cracked or crazed by acvated ultrasonic ps.
Normal wear of the p occurs during funcon. When approximately 2 mm
of the p has worn the insert may lose up to 50% eciency, and should be
discarded. Contact with composite restoraons will cause more rapid
arion of ultrasonic inserts.
O-RINGS
Before placing inserts into the handpiece performing the following steps
will increase O-ring life.
1. Fill enre handpiece with water
2. Lubricate O-ring (black or green material) with water
3. Gently twist the insert down into the handpiece unl fully seated
UNIT POWER SETTINGS
1. DP#100, & DF#100 inserts should be used with minimum power
seng only on the unit.
2. DF#10, DF#1000 & DP#10 inserts should be used on low - medium
power seng.
3. DF#3 inserts may be used on medium - high power seng
As a rule the power seng on the unit should always be set at the
minimum and increased only as dictated by clinical requirements.
28
