CAUTION
TO MINIMIZE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY:
• Always insert bur the full length of the chuck. If you attempt to extend it from the chuck, the bur may
dislodge during use and possibly injure you or your patient.
• Use only recommended burs to prevent damage to the autochuck and in some cases to prevent burs from
improper or incorrect placement. An improperly clamped bur may dislodge during use, causing injury to you
or your patient. A sudden high-pitched sound or increased vibration while handpiece is operating alerts the
operator to the possibility that the chuck is not latched properly to retain the bur or a bent bur is inserted.
TO MINIMIZE RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE TO ANGLE:
• Replace cartridge when handpiece does not run at full speed or runs noisily.
• Follow these safety instructions:
- Confirm bur is secure by tugging on it after it is loaded
- Verify concentric rotation by operating handpiece outside oral cavity. Do not use if it does not
run concentrically or runs with excessive noise.
- Do not operate angle without an installed bur.
- Always use burs with overall length of less than 24mm. Shank length must be at least 7.3mm.
- When using auto chuck angle, never depress end cap while bur is rotating.
NOTICE LubeFree Angles denoted by having 3 rings on neck - see image on first panel - are lubricated
for life. Never clean ultrasonically or immerse in solvent that would dilute the lubricant.
