Class II equipment
• The motor handpiece is designed for commercially available AAA nickel metal hydride
batteries (rechargeable).
• The motor handpiece consumes electricity very slightly even when the power is off. In
addition, fully-charged rechargeable batteries, in general, discharge gradually over time
even though it is not used. It is recommended to recharge the batteries just before use.
• When the motor handpiece automatically stops by detecting a low battery voltage, leaving
it for a while and turning on the power again may not detect the low voltage immediately.
This is not a failure, but due to battery characteristics. Since the voltage drop does not
coincide with the remaining battery capacity, consider it only as a yardstick.
•
Recharge rechargeable batteries after they deplete as much as possible. Repeating short
time use and subsequent recharging may shorten their operating time due to a “memory
effect.” Batteries may recover from the memory effect after fully discharging and then fully
charging and repeating this procedure a few times.
• Eventually completely discharged batteries cannot be charged and need to be replace with
new ones.
• User shall be responsible for operation, maintenance and inspection.
• No special training is required for this device.

CAUTION
• When the power lamp for the charger does not light up, the internal fuse may be
faulty. In this case please contact your dealer.
• Be careful of handling when placing the motor handpiece in to the charger. Do not
force the handpiece into the charger. Otherwise, failure may be occur.
• If the power cord is inserted into the jack or the power switch is pressed with
unnecessary force, the cord or switch may be broken or a short-circuit may occur.
• Never use the battery charger for anything other than the motor handpiece of this
product.
• The charging normally takes approx. 90 minutes, but it depends on battery use
conditions, battery freshness, ambient temperature, etc. Older batteries are especially
prone to significantly shorter charging and operating times.
• Batteries may slightly warm up during charging, but this is not a failure. If the
handpiece is inserted or removed into/from the charger at short intervals, (approx. 5
minutes) charging cannot be properly completed and the battery compartment may
feel hot. We recommend that you charge batteries for as longer periods as possible.
• The power of the motor handpiece should not be turned on immediately after it has
been removed from the charger, wait at least approx. 2 seconds before you switch on
the power.
• Completely discharged batteries cannot be charged. Replace them with new ones.
• Do not put anything (metal or other devices such as wire, safety pin, or coin) other
than the handpiece on the charger. Otherwise, burn or failure may result due to heat
generation.
• The temperature of the batteries is measured during charging. Proper charging cannot
be performed if the charger is placed in an environment which is subject to sharp
temperature change (next to window, subject to direct sunlight, near air outlet of fan
heater). Place it in a place where temperature change is minimal.
• Charging may not be started in the following case.
· The temperature of the batteries is excessively high or low.
(Lower than approx. 0°C or higher than approx. 40°C)

NOTICE
NOTICE
• This function does not work unless remaining battery capacity is sufficient.
• Perform calibration after cleaning the contra angle head. Residual contamination on
the rotating shaft will impair correct measurement.
• Do not touch or apply a load to the rotating shaft of the contra angle head. It will
obstruct accurate measurement.
• This function cannot completely absorb the individual difference of the actual motor
handpiece and contra angle head.

Sterilize the contra angle head only.
For the sterilization method, we recommend the autoclaving. Sterilization is required first time
you use and after each patient as noted below.
Autoclaving
1. Brush the dirt off the surface of the contra angle head, and wipe it off with a cotton cloth
moistened with surgical spirit. Do not use a metal brush.
2. Lubricate the head with the PANA-SPRAY/PANA-SPRAY Plus. (Refer to the “7 (1) Lubricating
Contra Angle Head.”)
3. Insert the head into an autoclave pouch and seal it.
4. Autoclavable up to a max. 135°C (275°F).
ex.) Autoclave for 20 min. at 121°C (250°F), or 15 min. at 132°C (270°F).
5. Keep the handpiece in the autoclave pouch to keep it clean until you use it.
* Sterilization at 121°C for more than 15 minutes is recommended by EN13060 or
EN ISO17665-1.
8. Sterilization
(1) Lubricating Contra Angle Head
• Lubricate the contra angle head only.
• Apply PANA SPRAY/PANA SPRAY Plus after each use and/or before each calibration and
autoclaving
1. Lubricate it before each autoclaving or once a
day if you do not autoclave, using
PANA-SPRAY/PANA-SPRAY Plus lubricant.
Screw the F type spray nozzle onto the
Pana-Spray nozzle by approx. 10 turns.
2. Insert the F type spray nozzle into the rear
part of the contra angle head and lubricate the
head for 2-3 seconds. If the contra angle head
does not push into nozzle enough, oil may not go around into the handpiece and it may flows
backward.
(2) Cleaning Motor Handpiece
When the motor handpiece becomes dirty, wipe it off with a cotton cloth moistened with
rubbing alcohol.
(3) Cleaning Charger
When the charger becomes dirty, wipe it off with a cotton cloth moistened with surgical
solution.
7. Cleaning
• Do not heat sterilize the motor handpiece.
• Do not wipe with, or clean or immerse in, high acid water or sterilizing solutions.
CAUTION
• Do not lubricate the motor handpiece.
• Before mounting the lubricated contra angle head to the motor handpiece, wipe off
excess oil. Stand it on its end or lean it in the proper position for gravity draining.
Mount it after excess oil has been completely drained.
• Hold the contra angle head securely to prevent it from flying off by the pressure of the
spray.
• Hold the spray can upright.
• When cleaning the motor handpiece, do not use any solvent such as benzene and,
thinner.

Changing Batteries
Prepare small screwdrivers (Phillips, flatblade).
1. Turn off the power of the motor handpiece.
2. Remove the rubber cover from the battery
cover with a thin flatblade screwdriver.
(Fig. 11)
3. Remove the screw fixing the battery cover
with a Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. 12)
4. Remove the battery cover by sliding it toward
the charging terminal. (Fig. 13)
5. Remove old batteries.
6. Insert new batteries according to the polarity
marking in the battery box. A mix-up between
the positive and negative sides will not allow
operation of the handpiece.
7. Attach the battery cover.
8. Tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
Do not overtighten it.
9. Insert the rubber cover back into the screw
hole of the battery cover in the originally
inserted direction.
Changing of batteries is now completed. Charge
them fully before use.
The motor handpiece monitors temperature of the batteries. If the batteries can potentially
become abnormally hot, this system functions and the motor handpiece automatically stops. In
such a case, wait until the motor handpiece cools down sufficiently. If this safety system
functions repeatedly, either the batteries or motor handpiece is not in the normal operating
condition and you should contact your dealer.
10. Safety System
The motor handpiece uses rechargeable batteries. They can be recharged 300-500 times,
depending on the use conditions of the motor handpiece. If the operating time becomes
shorter or the rotation speed becomes slower, although the “MEMORY EFFECT” described in
“ NOTICE” is not applicable, the batteries may be at the end of their life expectancy. In such
a case, ask your dealer to replace the batteries or replace them with new ones yourself. (Refer
to the “ Changing Batteries.”) When replacing them by yourself, be sure to observe the
following “ CAUTIONS ON CHANGING BATTERIES.” Please note that NSK shall not be liable
for any malfunction or failure resulting from you changing the batteries yourself and not
following the “ CAUTIONS ON CHANGING BATTERIES.”
11. Changing Batteries
• Do not misplace the rubber cover and screw.
• The used nickel metal hydride batteries are recyclable, but their disposal may
sometimes not be permitted by the respective country. Return them to your dealer.
CAUTION
• Do not open any part other than the battery cover.
• Use only batteries as specified by NSK.
• Designated Batteries : AAA (marking may be different) nickel metal hydride batteries,
nominal 1.2 V
• Do not use non-charging type batteries such as alkaline batteries and manganese
batteries. Charging with these batteries may cause fluid leaks, explosion or chlorine
gas generation.
• Should the battery fluid leak and get into your eyes, immediately wash thoroughly with
clean water and seek medical attention.
• Should the battery fluid leak and adhere to skin or clothing, immediately wash the
exposed skin thoroughly with clean water and completely wash away the fluid. Failure
to do so may result in a skin irritation.
• Always replace two batteries of the same type by the same manufacturer at the same
time. Using batteries of different-types, an exhausted battery with a fully charged one,
or a new battery with an old one may cause a fluid leak or explosion.
• Do not work with wet hands. Failure to do so may result in rust formation on battery
terminals or moisture intrusion inside, and could cause failure of the product.
