• The battery is not charged when the unit is shipped from the factory and must be charged before using the unit.
• Do not pull or yank the cord when disconnecting the AC adapter. Always grip the connectors.
• Use only the power cord provided and plug both ends all the way in.
• Charger and power supply cord must be located outside the so called patient environment (2.0 m around the patient location).
• If an electrical storm occurs while the battery is being charged, do not touch the charger or its cord as there would be a risk receiving an electric shock.
• Do not get the charger wet or use it where it might get wet.
Charge the battery as soon as the battery power indicator gets down to its last bar.
If the orange charge LED goes off immediately or doesn’t light up when the handpiece is put into the charger, the battery is probably fully charged.
To make sure, take the handpiece out and put it back in again.
Make sure the contact areas for the handpiece and charger are free of debris, especially metal fragments. Wipe with ethanol to remove any foreign
debris. Do not press down too hard to wipe the charging areas; this could bend the electrical contacts.
Do not leave the charger where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Unplug the battery charger when it is not being used.
Do not use any charger; use only the one that comes with the Tri
Auto mini.
Connect the power cord to the charger and then plug
it in. Turn the charger on. The green Power LED will
light up.
* Ambient (room) temperature for charging is from +10 ºC (+50 ºF) to +40 ºC (+104 ºF).

The number of bars shows how much battery power is left.
Recharge the battery when there is only one bar left.
If the battery runs almost completely out, the Tri Auto mini will automatically turn itself off after
about 10 seconds. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
If the battery power is very low and a large load is applied to the  le, the motor may stop or the
unit may turn itself off.
This is for safety; there may not be enough power to run the motor with suf cient stability.
Recharge the battery if the display shown to the left appears frequently.
Contra Angle Motor Handpiece
Line up the marks.
Approx. 290°
Do not force the contra angle to rotate beyond its limit.
The rotation range of the contra angle is about 290°.
Set it so that it reaches the treatment area and the
display is easy to see.
Line up the match marks and push the contra angle onto the handpiece until there is an audible click.
* The contra angle must be lubricated with the AR SPRAY or MORITA MULTI SPRAY before using for the  rst time.
Refer to “Autoclaving the Contra Angle”.
• Push the contra angle all the way onto the handpiece and then give it a light tug to make sure it is securely attached.
• Make sure the connection components for both the handpiece and the contra angle are not damaged. An improper connection could cause the motor to re-
verse unexpectedly and result in injuring the patient.

• Stop using the Tri Auto mini if you feel or notice anything unusual. The Tri Auto mini cannot be used for every canal and should be used along with manual
enlargement.
• File break more easily at fast speeds; always follow the  le manufacturer’s usage recommendations. Also always check the speed settings before use.
• Do not use any type of  les except nickel-titanium and stainless steel ones.
• Nickel-Titanium  les are easily broken; note the following points.
• Open the canal up to the apical constriction manually before using a nickel-titanium  le.
• Never use excessive force to insert the  le.
• First remove all foreign matter, such as bits of cotton from the root canal.
• Never use excessive force to advance the  le down the root canal.
• Do not use for extremely curved canals.
• Try not to trigger the auto torque reverse function when advancing the  le down the canal.
• Do not skip  le sizes; suddenly using a much larger  le could break it.
• If you encounter resistance or the auto torque reverse is triggered, back the  le up 3 or 4 mm and carefully advance it down the root canal again. Or re-
place the  le with a smaller size. Never use excessive force.
• Do not force the  le down the root canal or press it against the root canal wall.
• Do not use the same  le continuously in one position as this may create “steps” on the root canal wall.
• Always take  le out of the contra angle after use.
• Operate the Tri Auto mini outside the oral cavity to make sure it will operate properly before using it for treatment.
• Some canals may be impossible to enlarge; always take an X-ray to check.
• Nickel-titanium  le may suddenly snap depending on the curvature and shape of the canal; stop using the  le if you notice or feel anything amiss.
• Files will eventually break due to metal fatigue and should be replaced before they reach this point.
• Electric noise or a malfunction could interfere with the motor control. Do not depend entirely on the unit controlling itself; always watch the display and be
aware of tactile feedback.
• Files will jam and break if too much force is applied to them.
• Files may break even when the torque reverse is turned on, depending on the setting value. Never exert excessive force on the  le.
• Files designed for use with engines break easily if too much force is applied. Also do not use these  les for canals with excessive curvature.
• Always examine  les for stretching and other deformities or damage before using them. Any type of deformity could result in the  le breaking.
• Do not let the  le release button on the contra angle press against the teeth opposite to the treatment area; this could cause the  le to come out and result in
an injury.
• Do not press the  le release button while the motor is running. It could heat up and cause a burn, or the  le could come out and cause an injury.
If a malfunction occurs, the Tri
Auto mini will stop working. In
this case, contact your local
dealer or J. MORITA OFFICE.
■Make sure the contra angle and handpiece are properly and securely connected.
■ Make sure the  le is securely installed; give it a light tug.
■Check switch operation.
