To prevent a failure of the spray function, we recommend the maintenance of the spray
channels as follows:
daily after finish of the work: Open the spray button 360° and start the device with spray
during 5 to 10 seconds so that eventual dust particles will be blown out of the channels on the
hand-piece.
once a week: rinse out and clean the water tank. Attention: NEVER dry up the water tank
with a cloth, cotton or tissue as dust particles may appear on the inner side of the tank
obstructing the stylus.
Dust out once a week all channels by turning on the spray button to 360° and turn on the unit
with empty water tank during +/-10 seconds (with spray) until no more liquid comes out of
the hand-piece.
