Cleaning, Sterilization and Lubricating
BEFORE OPERATING THE HANDPIECE, CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
Air and Water Adjustment
1. Air Pressure –
Note: To prevent premature damage to the turbine, do not exceed 34 psi when using a HiFlo swivel.
Using air pressure gauge StarDental Part #262591, for 4-Line tubing and handpieces, if a gauge is available, set
pressure to:
30-32 psi – for the Star® Simplicity FX
30-32 psi – for the Star® Simplicity SW
If a gauge is not available, set pressure at delivery head allowing 1 psi pressure loss for every foot of tubing.
(See Speci cations for recommended operational pressure.)
For example, if you are using the Star® Simplicity FX that you want to operate at 32 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 tubing 32 psi + 5 psi = 37 psi
or 12 feet tubing 32 psi + 12 psi = 44 psi
2. Water Pressure – Adjust water volume at the delivery head to obtain a satisfactory spray mist.
Handpiece Operation
Use standard length concentric diamond and carbide burs with .0628" (1.6mm) nominal
diameter friction grip shanks designed for high speed handpieces. Every StarDental
Diamond Bur meetsspeci cations below for recommended lengths. Contact yourdealer
for a complete list of StarDental Diamond Burs. StarDental autochuck turbines have
the following bur requirements:
Use only burs with hardened, tempered steel shanks or carbide shanks. Every
StarDental Bur maintains required hardness. Before use, verify concentric rotation
by operating handpiece outside the oral cavity in a safe place.
Note: Do not use burs that produce excessive noise or do not run concentrically.
Do not use burs that are modi ed, eccentrically designed, or have bent or ‘soft’
(non-heat treated) shanks.
Autochuck Bur Changing System
1. Insert bur into autochuck until resistance is felt.
2. Depress autochuck end cap button and continue to feed-in bur until it clicks and stops.
3. Release end cap button. Now, apply light inward force to the dental bur. This will
help set the chucking mechanism for initial start up. (Always tug on bur after it has
been installed to con rm that it is secured).
1. To remove, grasp handpiece  rmly so your thumb touches the end cap and push
until a slight ‘click’ is noticed.
2. Pull bur straight out.
3. Release end cap.
Autochuck Bur Changing System
Maximum
24.0 mm
OVERALL LENGTH
Minimum
7.3 mm
Shank Length
Never depress the autochuck end cap button or rest the end cap against any part of the oral anatomy during
handpiece operation. Depressing the end cap while a bur is rotating can activate the chuck mechanism and result
in end cap heat-up and/or loss of bur retention.
Autochuck Turbine - Star® Simplicity FX and Star® Simplicity SW:
Use burs with an overall length of less than 24mm and a shank length of at least 7.3mm.
CAUTION
CAUTION
The Star® Simplicity FX and SW High-Speed Handpieces are used by trained dental professionals for a variety of
procedures including but not limited to caries and amalgam removal, restorative work and crown preparations.
DO NOT USE FOR ORAL SURGERY
Use steam sterilization exclusively for complete sterility.
Do not exceed 135°C
To prevent damage to the bur, use an autoclavable bur block.
Do not use:
• dry heat sterilizer • cold sterilizers • ultrasonic cleaners • chemical disinfectors • immersion techniques
• surgical milk • surface wipes • hand soaps • detergents • surface sprays
• sterilizer bags containing disinfectants
CAUTION
1. Always tug on bur after chuck is loaded to con rm that the bur is secured.
2. Before use, verify concentric rotation by operating the handpiece outside the oral cavity in a safe place. Do not use burs
that do not run concentrically or produce excessive noise.
3. Never operate handpiece without a bur installed.
4. Always use burs with an overall length of less than 24 mm. The shank length must be at least 7.3 mm. This includes most
short shank burs.
5. When using handpieces with autochuck turbine - never depress end cap while bur is rotating.
6. Use only recommended burs to prevent damage to handpiece turbine and/or chuck 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 clamped suf ciently to retain the bur or a bent bur is inserted.
Always insert the bur full length of the chuck. If you attempt to extend it from the chuck, the bur may dislodge during use and cause injury to you
or your patient.
Replace the turbine when the handpiece fails to achieve full speed and/or increases sharply in noise level. This is an indication
of a failing turbine. A failing turbine will reduce the ef ciency of the handpiece and may result in end cap heat up. See "Turbine
Replacement".
WARNING
CAUTION
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
TheStar® Simplicity FX and SWHandpieces contain a turbine with ceramic bearings that are lubricated and sealed to keep the dirt
out, therefore, never clean ultrasonically or immerse in solvent that would dilute the lubricant. Lubrication of the turbine is required
daily and prior to sterilization. DentaLube II is required to ensure extended life of the Star® Simplicity Handpieces.
Lubricating
For maximum turbine life do not exceed recommended pressure.
Note: Lubricate handpiece daily. Use only DentaLube II, StarDental Part #262539.
1. Disconnect handpiece.
2. Assemble the conical red tip applicator, StarDental Part #202954, into the DentaLubeII bottle cap.
3. Find drive air tube at rear of handpiece and place two drops of DentaLube II.
(See illustrations for more detail).
4. With bur in place connect handpiece to tubing, operate for 20 seconds to expel excess lubricant.
Note: Never operate handpiece without bur in place.

Limits On Reprocessing: Repeated processing has minimal effect on this handpiece. End of life is normally determined by wear and
damage due to use.
Instructions
Clean and sterilize handpieces and burs as soon as practical before  rst use and after each patient.
It is recommended that handpieces are reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practical following use.
WARNING
Preparation for cleaning: Remove handpiece from swivel. No further disassembly is required.
Containment and
transportation:
Cleaning - Automated: Washer-disinfectors are not recommended.
It is the responsibility of the user to use only FDA compliant sterilizing equipment and accessories that are capable of
meeting the manufacturers recommendations below.
CAUTION
Cleaning - Manual: Cleaning the Autochuck (Star® Simplicity FX and SW):
PLEASE NOTE: to ensure that your High-Speed chuck continues to be in optimum working condition, clean
once a week with Junk-Out High-Speed Chuck Cleaner Kit P/N 263790:
Shake well before use
-Install brush to handle. See diagram at right.
-Use one new brush per cleaning application.
-Do not reuse brushes.
-Remove bur from chuck.
-Dip brush into bottle.
-Remove excess cleaner from the brush.
-Insert brush into bur end of turbine.
-Clean gently by rotating and inserting the brush in and out of the
turbine.
-Repeat process if necessary.
Reseal cap on bottle immediately after use to reduce evapora-
tion.
Cleaning Burs
NOTE: Burs Must Be Cleaned and Sterilized Before First Use and After
Each Patient.
Cleaning Diamond Burs:
- After each use, clean the diamond bur by running it against a wet diamond cleaning stone.
To mechanically clean, the diamond bur should be held in a solution of either enzymatic presoak or water.
- Rinse the bur thoroughly and allow it to dry.
- Sterilize – See Sterilization
Cleaning the Swivel
1. Disconnect handpiece from swivel; disconnect swivel from tubing by rotating coupler in the opposite direction as
shown in Handpiece Installation. Depress foot control; verify water exits tubing.
2. Connect swivel to tubing by following steps in Handpiece Installation. Depress foot control; if almost no water exits
front of swivel, clean as follows.
3. Remove swivel and  nd water tube on front face of swivel. See illustration.
4. Insert cleaning wire, StarDental® Part #256719, into water tube. Move wire back and forth to loosen debris at
blockage.
5. Remove wire and apply a blast of air into water tube with syringe air.
Cleaning the Mating Parts of the Swivel
To optimize operation of the swivel disconnect mechanism, swab all internal
surfaces of handpiece with a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol until
clean. Dry using syringe air.
Clean area from bearing/spring assembly at rear of swivel using isopropyl
alcohol and a toothbrush. Dry using syringe air.
