5. Slide tubing coupler until the end of the ISO tubing connector is exposed; hold in hand as shown with fingers
securing the tubing.
6. Align and insert fittings on handpiece into the ISO tubing connector holes.
7. While applying slight pressure to hold fittings in the connector holes, slide coupler forward and engage threads.
Continue threading coupler clockwise until hand tight against the handpiece.
NOTICE If delivery unit has oil/mist lubrication, detach and drain; handpiece is LubeFree.
The Prophy Star 3 Handpiece (5,000 rpm) is suitable for low speed prophy procedures using disposable prophy
angles. The overall reduction in length of the Prophy Star 3 improves work positioning and reduces operator fatigue.

LOW SPEED HANDPIECE BACK END
2. Mount 4/6-line air pressure gauge, between the back end of handpiece and air supply tubing and obtain a
reading. Adjust air pressure until gauge reads 35-40 psi (FIG. 3) while operating handpiece with foot control
completely depressed.
NOTE: If a gauge is not available, set pressure at delivery head allowing 1 psi pressure loss for every foot of
tubing. For example, to operate at 35 psi and you are using either 5 feet or 12 feet of tubing, then the
pressure should be set at the delivery head to compensate for the air pressure losses:
5 feet of tubing 35 psi + 5 psi = 40 psi
12 feet of tubing 35 psi + 12 psi = 47 psi
3. After adjustment, uncouple the pressure gauge and install handpiece as follows.
4. Grasp the handpiece at the back end, in front of the threads between the thumb and finger as shown in FIG. 4.

DISPOSABLE PROPHY ANGLE INSTALLATION
NOTE: Metal prophy angles are not recommended to be used with the Prophy Star handpiece. Prophy angles
with plastic stems with ISO standard Doriot couplings may be used. Attachments other than prophy angles are
not recommended with this handpiece.

with the nose pin.
2. Push the angle until the slot is fully seated around the nose pin (FIG. 5).
Sterilizable up to 135°C
135°C
TO MINIMIZE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY:
• Always pull lightly on angle after mounting to handpiece to confirm that the angle is secured.
DO NOT USE FOR ORAL SURGERY
NOTE: Operating pressure must be maintained between 35 psi and 40 psi.
CAUTION
WARNING
TO MINIMIZE RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE TO HANDPIECE OR ANGLE:
• Before use, verify concentric rotation by operating the handpiece outside the oral cavity in a
safe place. Do not use angles that do not run concentrically or produce excessive noise.
• Never operate handpiece without an angle installed.
• Use only recommended angles to prevent damage to chuck. An improperly inserted angle may
dislodge during use, causing injury to you or your patient.

following use.
PREPARATION FOR
CLEANING:
Remove handpiece from dental unit tubing; remove angle from handpiece. No further
disassembly is required.
CLEANING - AUTOMATED: Washer-disinfectors are not recommended.
CLEANING - MANUAL: Cleaning chuck:
Insert round end of brush (FIG.9), StarDental Part #203043, straight into chuck and withdraw.
NOTE: Do not rotate brush while inserting or removing. After
removing brush, tap nose of chuck to expel debris.
CAUTION Do not adjust or disassemble the handpiece.
Handpiece: Remove debris from external surfaces using a
small brush and isopropyl alcohol. Dry thoroughly. Repeat after each patient.
LUBRICATION: The Prophy Star 3 Handpiece is LubeFree and therefore requires no lubrication.
At times, debris from the delivery system’s drive air tubing collects in the handpiece. This
build up may cause sluggish operation. To ease, place 1 drop of DentaLube II, StarDental
Part #262539, into the drive air tube, and operate the handpiece for 15 seconds.
DISINFECTION: Use steam sterilization exclusively for complete sterility as outlined below.
MAINTENANCE: See 'Cleaning' above
