1. Before Use
Push the handpiece straight onto the motor’s connection cylinder until
you hear it snap into place.
* Refer to the user manual for the motor.
* Make sure the O-rings on the motor’s connection cylinder are OK.
Use at speeds of no more than 10,000 rpm and with forward rotation only.
Check that there is no dust or other debris on the motor's connection cylinder. The handpiece might malfunction if
there is.
Do not expose the handpiece to strong physical shocks such as by dropping it or swinging it against the dental
treatment unit when it is connect to its tube.This could impair rotation performance.
• Give the handpiece a light tug before using it to make sure it is securely connected.
• Wait for the motor to come to a complete stop before connecting or disconnecting the handpiece.
• Do not use any type of motor other than it conforms to ISO 14457.
2. Motor Connection
Pre-use inspection: Check for the following before using the handpiece.
If an abnormality is found, refrain from using the handpiece and have it professionally repaired.
• Never use the following types cups and brushes; they could come out and injure the patient or be swallowed:
* If any bur detergent, dust, or other foreign matter enters the chuck, contact your local dealer or J. MORITA
OFFICE to request an inspection.
[Specifications may be changed without notice due to improvements.]
2018-05-21 Pub.No.: L115-62001-501Operation 1/2
• Do not run the handpiece in reverse; the cup or brush will come off.
• Operate the handpiece outside the oral cavity before actually using it to make sure it does not
overheat and the cup or brush does not wobble. Also make sure it runs at the right speed in the
right direction and does not operate abnormally in any way.
• If a cup or brush comes out during use, stop using the handpiece immediately and have the
handpiece repaired.
• Never use the handpiece with no or too little cooling air; this could cause it to heat up and possibly
burn the doctor's hand or the patient's mouth.
• Wait for the cup or brush to stop moving before taking the handpiece out of or putting into the oral
cavity.
• To avoid cutting your finger etc., wait until the handpiece has completely stopped rotating before
inserting or removing a cup or brush.
• Do not use any cups or brushes different from specified screw length. Otherwise the cup or brush
could come out.

If a medical agent being used for the treatment has adhered to
the handpiece, wash it off in running water.
Do not perform ultra sonic cleaning.
Clean drilling and polishing debris off the head with a brush and
running water.
After cleaning, use the syringe or an air blow gun to get rid of any
moisture left inside the handpiece.
Do not use anything except ethanol. Do not use too much ethanol; it could seep inside and damage the handpiece.
Rotation and spray delivery will be impaired if debris gets inside the water or air lines.
Do not immerse the handpiece in or wipe it with any of the following: functional water (acidic electrolyzed water,
strong alkaline solution, and ozone water), medical agents (glutaral, etc.), or any other special types of water or
commercial cleaning liquids. Such liquids may result in metal corrosion and adhesion of the residual medical agent to
the handpiece.

* After cleaning there may be streaks or white spots on the instrument.
Use a neutralizer only if there are streaks or white spots.
* When using a high-temperature washer-disinfector to clean the handpiece, strictly adhere to the
conditions specified below.

Operating conditions for high-temperature washer-disinfectors
Operating Precautions
• Always use a handpiece holder when washing the handpiece, making sure to rinse the inside of the handpiece
thoroughly.
• For details on handling medical agents or adjusting their concentration, refer to the user manual for the washing device.
• After washing is complete, check to see if the handpiece, including its inside, is completely dry. If any water
remains inside the handpiece, expel it with an air gun or another such tool. Failure to do so could result in the
remaining water coming out during use and cause poor lubrication or sterilization.
• Always lubricate the handpiece after washing.
Always use a handpiece holder when washing the handpiece; otherwise any medical agent remains inside the
handpiece, it may corrode or clog the air or water pipe, resulting in a malfunction of the handpiece.
Inappropriate cleaning methods and solutions will damage the handpiece.
Do not clean the handpiece using strong acidic or alkaline solutions that could cause the metal to corrode.
Any moisture left inside the handpiece could result in the remaining water coming out during use and cause
corrosion, or poor lubrication and sterilization.
Do not leave a handpiece inside the high-temperature washer-disinfector.
7. Lubrication
2
1
Lubricate with the LS Spray (sold separately) or MORITA MULTI SPRAY (sold separately) before autoclav-
ing and after morning and afternoon treatment sessions.
Insert the nozzle into the connection end of the handpiece,
hold it firmly and then spray for 2 seconds.
Put the spray nozzle on the spray can.
Failure to lubricate the handpiece will result in a malfunction.
Never use any spray other than the LS SPRAY or MORITA MULTI SPRAY.
The head could get quite cold if the spray is applied for more than 5 seconds. In this case, wait awhile
before operating the handpiece; otherwise the bearings could be damaged.
Always use the spray can in an upright position. Use only the special spray nozzle provided.
• Do not point the spray can at anyone.
• Do not use the spray in a closed space without proper ventilation. Open windows and turn on
exhaust fans to make sure the room is well ventilated.
• Do not get the spray in your eyes. If you accidentally get it in your eyes, wash your eyes with
plenty of water and see a doctor.
• Do not get the spray on your skin. If it gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water.
• If used in a sink or other enclosed space, a flammable mist could permeate the air; keep the area
free of open flames or other ignition sources.

8. Removing Excess Oil
Connect the handpiece to the motor, point the head
down, and run the motor for about 30 seconds. Use a
piece of gauze to wipe off any oil that gets on the outside
of the handpiece.
• After lubricating the handpiece, do not fail to remove excess oil. The motor could malfunction if any
oil get inside of it. Also excess oil inside the handpiece could cause it to overheat.
Using an air blow gun, blow the handpiece connection for
20 to 30 seconds to get rid of any moisture left inside the
handpiece. Wipe the excess oil from the handpiece with a
gauze.
You can use MORITA's threeway syringe instead of an air
blow gun.
(In this case, attach the air nozzle to the tip of the threeway
syringe. The air nozzle comes with a micromotor or its
optional accessory.)
• To prevent the spread of serious, life-threatening infections such as HIV and hepatitis B, the handpiece must be
autoclaved after finishing the treatment of each patient.
• Instruments are extremely hot after autoclaving; do not touch them until they cool off.
Do not sterilize the handpiece by any method other than autoclaving.
Remove the bur or point before autoclaving.
Failure to clean and lubricate the handpiece before autoclaving will lead to a malfunction of the handpiece.
The sterilization and drying temperatures must not exceed +135°C (+275°F). A drying temperature in excess of
+135°C (+275°F) will result in contamination of the handpiece or cause it to malfunction.
When autoclaving the handpiece, do not let it come into contact with the heat source or the body of the autoclave to
avoid damage to the O-rings or other parts due to the high temperature.
Do not leave the handpiece in the autoclave.
Place the handpiece in a sterilization pouch and autoclave it.
After autoclaving, store the handpiece in a dry environment.
* Autoclaving and drying temperatures must not exceed +135° C
(+275° F)
* Minimum drying time after sterilization: 10 minutes.
Recommended Temperature and Time:
In a sterilization pouch, minimum 6 minutes at +134°C (+273.2°F) or
minimum 60 minutes at +121°C (+249.8°F)
