RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the dental professional using this
device to be fully trained in the proper use of ultrasonic scalers. The
operator must be observant of possible changes in performance during
a procedure and immediately discontinue use of this product, and
determine the cause of such changes in performance before continuing
dental procedures. Performance varies slightly between manufacturers
of ultrasonic scalers, so the operator must become familiar with the
operating parameters, and adjustments of this particular device.
Performance varies between Ultrasonic Inserts due to the style Insert,
model Insert, and from the age and/or modifications of the insert.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
!NOTE: The flexible Water Input Hose is subject to deterioration by
aging, chemicals in the water supply, excessive flexing, and pressure
fluctuations. As an added precaution, the water supply should be
turned OFF at the end of the day. REMEMBER to turn the water back
ON prior to use the next day.
!CAUTION: THE AUTOSCALER should NOT be used for restorative
dental procedures involving the CONDENSATION OF AMALGAM.
!CAUTION: THE AUTOSCALER should NOT be used on or near

that keep contamination from getting on the handpiece assembly.
Dispose sheathe after each patient. Ask your local dealer for HIGH
SPEED LONG sheathes.
INTRODUCTION
THE AUTOSCALER Ultrasonic Scaler is a precision-engineered instrument,
constructed with only the finest of materials, and requiring no special
maintenance. By taking the following precautions your unit will give you many
years of service.
1. Do not place unit on or near any source of heat.
2. Clean the outer surfaces of THE AUTOSCALER with a Federally
approved non-immersion WATER BASED cold sterilization solution.
Dry immediately with clean air or clean paper towels.
3. Unit should be located where a normal amount of air will circulate
freely around the case when in use.
4. The handpiece, and Quick Connector are very strong but care should
be taken NOT TO PULL with excessive force.
(DESCRIPTION): Basically, the unit is broken down into THREE major
components, the electronic generator, the water system, and the
handpiece assembly.

Page Number 4
THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
ELECTRONIC GENERATOR AND WATER SYSTEM
The electronic generator produces the frequency, and the power to
activate a wide variety of interchangeable Sable Scaling TIPS. The water
system provides precise control over the water (lavage) flow, which serves to
wash debris from the work area, and to cool the laminations of the insert tip.
The following controls are found on the front panel of THE AUTOSCALER.
!TOGGLE SWITCH: To turn unit On and Off.
!INDICATOR L.E.D. LAMP:(above the switch) which lights when the
Toggle Switch is set to the ON position, indicating the unit is ready
for operation.
!POWER CONTROL KNOB: NOTE:
FOLLOW INSERT MANUFACTURERS
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS, Linear
Power Control knob adjusts the output
power to the insert tip. The BLUE shaded
area is for use when using modified
Periodontal inserts. It is recommended
the Power not be set higher than 12:00
even if no mist appears at the tip.
!WATER / LAVAGE CONTROL KNOB: For adjusting the flow of
water to the handpiece, and insert tip. To obtain the NECESSARY
water flow of at least (18cc - 30cc/+/minute) - It may require ONE or
MORE complete rotations of the knob in either direction. HIGHER
water flow to the RIGHT, and LOWER water flow to the LEFT.
!HANDPIECE PANEL RECEPTACLE: Accepts the MALE side of the
Handpiece connector with lock ring.

Page Number 5
THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
HANDPIECE ASSEMBLY
The handpiece assembly is used to accept all brands of insert tips. It
is connected to THE AUTOSCALER front panel by a Quick Connector. The
open end of the handpiece will accept all brands of inserts, Inserts are
frequency specific.
!30K tips measure (Shorter style approx. 6.25 inches long).
!25K tips measure (Longer style approx. 7.25 inches long).
(25K) inserts will
NOT work in your
30K unit.
(30K) inserts will
NOT work in your
25K unit.
As illustrated both
frequency inserts look identical except for length.
(NOTE): Inserts are extremely FRAGILE. If one is dropped, bent, or
scratched it WILL NOT cavitate (I.E. will non function) or function by
operating at a higher than normal temperature, and should be replaced
immediately. (NOTE): Insert tips manufactured by other manufacturers may
not achieve optimal results, and could run at a higher temperature or not
tune efficiently in THE AUTOSCALER. Insert tips should be routinely
replaced according to insert manufacturers recommendations.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A grounded wall receptacle is required supplying a voltage range
of 110-125 volts 50/60 Hz A.C., or (optional voltage range of) 220-240
volts 50/60 Hz A.C. If a 3 to 2 prong adapter is used, the ground wire MUST
be connected to the base plate screw. Have an electrician test your outlet
for correct wiring polarity, and a safe ground. Do not assume the ground is
complete. If you plug THE AUTOSCALER in a GFI (Ground Fault
Interrupt) outlet it may trip the socket due to the high sensitivity of the
socket. If this occurs plug THE AUTOSCALER into a non-GFI socket.

INSTALLING THE HANDPIECE ASSEMBLY
1. Align the electrical contacts of the MALE connector with the same on
the FEMALE panel connector.
2. Gently insert the connector. It should slide in with very little effort. If
the connector does NOT align, DO NOT force it. Turn the
CONNECTOR BODY in either direction until the connector correctly
aligns, and goes in.
3. Once the connector has been completely inserted, screw the
OUTSIDE LOCK RING to the RIGHT with light finger pressure until it
stops. DO NOT over tighten the lock ring. Be careful not to cross
thread the lock ring.
4. To REMOVE the connector, unscrew the LOCK RING to the left, and
gently pull outward grasping the entire CONNECTOR BODY.
THE AUTOSCALER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. (NOTE): DO NOT use THE AUTOSCALER until all of the following
steps have been completed.
2. Upon receipt of your unit carefully unpack it and see that the Toggle
Switch is in the OFF-O position.
3. The Water Control Knob should be in the HIGH position. (Note: It is
normal for the Knob to turn past the High position several
rotations which will increase water flow substantially.)
4. Set the POWER KNOB all the way to the LEFT in the LOW position.
5. Plug the MALE Water Quick Connector into the Dental operatory or
have a plumber install a SHUT OFF style FEMALE connector. A
minimum of (20 P.S.I.) water input pressure,and a maximum of
(60 P.S.I.) is needed from the operatory for proper operation of THE
AUTOSCALER. NOTE: It is recommended that water line filtration
be used to remove larger particles before entering the scaler.
6. Plug the POWER CORD into the wall (see electrical requirements).
Press the toggle switch to the ON-I position. The L.E.D. light above
the switch should be ON (“I” position).
7. If your device is equipped with an AIR
SWITCH ACTIVATOR the air supply
must be attached to the rear of the
device, and a minimum of (20 PSIG) is
necessary to activate the air switch. DO
NOT REMOVE THE AIR

Page Number 7
THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
RESTRICTOR FITTING. The restrictor relieves the air input line if
accidentally charged from another air source without a purge cycle.
The scaler air line will bleed off to zero pressure protecting THE
AUTOSCALER.
8. Hold the handpiece in a VERTICAL
upright position, and step on the
foot switch. Within 10-15 seconds
water should come out of the open
end of the handpiece IF NOT,
QUICKLY turn WATER KNOB
clockwise 1-2 rotations to get
water flow. Some AIR will escape
at the same time. This step is
IMPORTANT because trapped air
will cause HOT SPOTS (usually
noted by a loud screeching
sound) which can affect the
performance of THE
AUTOSCALER or permanently damage the handpiece assembly.
9. (NOTE): Inserts and handpiece will BURN OUT in 45-60 seconds in
the ABSENCE OF WATER. A (18cc - 30cc/+/min) flow is the normal
flow range, and necessary at all times. NEVER touch the
Cavitating/Vibrating end of the insert tip to any FLESH such as the
cheek, tongue, or gums unless performing special periodontal
procedures. This will cause a friction burn to the patient. Always
keep the insert in motion. Do not rest the handle or insert on the lips
during a procedure. The REASON for this is due to the 25,000 or
30,000 back and forth strokes of the insert every second. This is
the principal idea of ultrasonic cleaning activity. The insert tip should
touch PRIMARILY the calculus on the tooth surface, and NOT the
enamel of the tooth surface.
10. Select an INSERT. Moisten the rubber O RING before inserting into
the handpiece. While holding the handpiece UPRIGHT, place the
insert in the OPEN END of the handpiece, and with a gentle PRESS
and TURN motion, snap the insert in fully. DO NOT force the insert.
11. (NOTE): Manufacturer recommends disposable handpiece sheathes
be used over the handpiece assembly.Place the sheathe over the
handpiece. While holding the sheathe in place, puncture the INSERT
through the plastic at the open end of the handpiece, and snap the
insert in fully according to STEP F. Dispose sheathe after each
patient.

Page Number 8
THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
12. (NOTE): Due to atmospheric exposure, and exposure to sterilization
solutions, the O RING on the insert tip may become swollen, brittle, or
crack, and require replacement.
13. While holding the handpiece upright, press the Foot Switch, and
water should begin to exit the insert. Allow the AIR bubbles to escape
for about 10-20 seconds. Turn the POWER KNOB to the RIGHT in
the Medium position, and the insert tip should Cavitate/Vibrate with a
strong mist. Turn the WATER KNOB to the right if there is No mist or
Weak misting. If Modified Periodontal inserts are used, set the
POWER knob in the BLUE shaded area. This power level is designed
to be used with these fragile specialty inserts. Inserts may give a drip
and mist combination. This is normal for these inserts, and is actually
preferred by most Periodontal professionals due to the water drip
being ultrasonically activated within 0.5mm of the tip assisting in
killing plaque.
14. The application of the POWER KNOB is for controlling the Output
Power to the insert tip in a smooth linear action. The operator can
select the EXACT power needed for cleaning. Set power knob LOW
to MEDIUM for cooler handpiece/insert temperature.
15. If your insert will not Cavitate/Vibrate, the problem could be the
INSERT. Before requesting service TRY ANOTHER INSERT. Make
sure you have the CORRECT FREQUENCY insert. If you
purchased a 30K 30,000 Hz model, a sticker on the front panel or
rear panel will indicate that you can use only 30K inserts. (30K
inserts will not function in a 25K unit, and 25K inserts will not
function in a 30K unit).
16. The HIGH power setting is for applications where an excessive
amount of calculus is built up. The Low power setting can be used for
periodontal Subgingival curettage, and root planing procedures. Most
scaling should be done only on the LOW to MEDIUM power setting.
UNIT IS NOW READY FOR USE
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
1. IMPORTANT: Turn off the water supply to THE AUTOSCALER by
disconnecting the QUICK WATER CONNECTOR, or shutting off the
main operatory water supply. REMEMBER to turn the water back on the
next day.
2. Press the Toggle Switch to the OFF-O position. The light should be off.

Page Number 9
THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
WHAT TO DO IF UNIT STOPS WORKING
If the unit does not function, proceed with the following:
1. If the power L.E.D. light above the switch is not lit, replace the FUSE on
the rear panel with a "LITTLE FUSE“2 amp Fast Blow style. If the fuse
opens again DO NOT attempt to replace the fuse as this indicates a
serious condition that must be examined by the factory. Call for technical
service [phone] or ask your local dealer to look up our current
phone number and address in their records, or the Proofs Magazine
listing of dental manufacturers.
2. Check the plug. Is it all the way in the receptacle?
3. Try another insert. (Make sure it is the correct frequency 25K or 30K
depending on your model.) If you have a 30K model a 30K sticker will be
on the front panel in the lower right corner or marked on the back of the
unit usually on the serial number plate. The most common mistake
when purchasing a new unit is selecting the wrong frequency
Cavitron insert.
4. If water flow is insufficient,check water pressure at the operatory for
minimum of 20 PSI. The Insert Water SLOT could be clogged with
debris. Try another insert. See if WATER QUICK CONNECTOR is
locked fully in place.
5. If the handpiece handle or insert operates HOT:REDUCE POWER
LEVEL and INCREASE WATER FLOW.
6. NEVER touch the Cavitating/Vibrating end
of the insert tip to any FLESH such as the
cheek, tongue, or gums unless performing special periodontal
procedures. This will cause a friction burn to the patient. Always keep
the insert in motion. Do not rest the handle or insert on the lips during a
procedure. The REASON for this is due to the 25,000 or 30,000 back
and forth strokes of the insert every second. This is the principal idea
of ultrasonic cleaning activity. The insert tip should touch PRIMARILY the
calculus on the tooth surface, and NOT the enamel of the tooth surface.
7. If THE AUTOSCALER stops functioning or is intermittent when the
handpiece cord is moved, this means a wire in the handpiece cord is
broken and must be immediately repaired or replaced. DO NOT continue
to press the foot switch as there is a possibility the internal circuit safety
fuse may blow and require replacement by a qualified technician.

Page Number 10
THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
8. If handpiece service is needed: Turn the unit OFF. Carefully unscrew
the outer lock ring of the handpiece assembly and gently unplug the
handpiece from the front panel. You can call your dealer for assistance or
[phone] for assistance.
9. If a humming or high pitch sound is noted from the console during
routine use, this is a normal circuit resonance which will change as the
POWER control knob is adjusted up and down, and will not affect the
performance of THE AUTOSCALER.
10.A note about Slimline™ and FSI™inserts. These inserts are extremely
thin and Fragile. During normal use the water may not mist like standard
inserts, however the cleaning action is just an effective. It is
recommended the Power knob be set in the Blue area at assure best
performance.
Call your DEALER or customer service at Sable Industries Inc. for further
instructions at area [phone], and a technician will be available to help
you with questions, and what to do next.
SCALING TECHNIQUES
Scaling techniques are at the option of the professional using this
instrument.
1. Excessive pressure is not necessary with THE AUTOSCALER. Use a
gentle, rapid motion with small overlapping strokes, being certain that the
insert is at a 15 degree angle to the tooth surface.
2. If patient Hypersensitivity is noted, you should lighten pressure on the
handpiece, Reduce the Power Level, or move from the sensitive tooth to
another, and return to the tooth later. If sensitivity persists, switch to a
hand instrument.

LE GÉNÉRATEUR ÉLECTRONIQUE ET LE SYSTÈME
D'ALIMENTATION EN EAU
Le générateur électronique produit la fréquence et la puissance nécessaires
pour actionner une vaste gamme de POINTES d'insert Sable. Le système
d'alimentation en eau alimente le flux de lavage permettant de rincer les
débris présents dans la zone de travail et de refroidir les lames de la pointe
d'insert. Les commandes suivantes sont situées sur le panneau avant de
L'AUTOSCALER
L'INTERRUPTEUR D'ALIMENTATION : permet d'allumer et
d'éteindre l'appareil.
Le VOYANT DEL : (au-dessus de l'interrupteur) s'allume lorsque
l'interrupteur d'alimentation est à la position ON-I. L'appareil est alors
prêt à fonctionner.
 Le RÉGLAGE DE LA PUISSANCE :
REMARQUE : RESPECTEZ À LA
LETTRE LES INSTRUCTIONS DES
FABRICANTS D'INSERTS. Le bouton
règle la puissance de sortie de manière
linéaire vers la pointe d'insert. Les
réglages indiqués en BLEU sont prévus
pour l'utilisation d'inserts parodontaux
modifiés. Il est recommandé de ne pas
dépasser la position 12 h, même lorsqu'aucun brouillard n'apparaît à
la pointe..
Le RÉGLAGE DU DÉBIT DE L'EAU / DU FLUX DE LAVAGE :
Permet de régler le débit de l'eau arrivant à la pièce à main et à la
pointe de l'insert. Vous aurez peut-être à tourner le bouton d'UN tour
complet ou PLUS dans un sens ou l'autre pour obtenir un débit
SUFFISANT (au moins 18 à 30 cc/+/minute). Tournez vers la
DROITE pour AUGMENTER le débit et vers la GAUCHE pour le
RÉDUIRE.
LE SUPPORT DE LA PIÈCE À MAIN : Sert à maintenir le côté
MÂLE du raccord de la pièce à main avec bague de serrage.

PIÈCE À MAIN
La pièce à main est compatible avec les pointes d'insert de
toutes les marques. Elle se branche au panneau avant de L'AUTOSCALER
grâce à un raccord rapide. L'extrémité ouverte de la pièce à main s'adapte
à tous les inserts des autres marques. Les inserts dépendent de la
fréquence.
dimensions des pointes de 30 K (les plus petites, environ 15,9 cm ou
6,25 po).
dimensions des pointes de 25 K (les plus longues, environ 18,42 cm ou
7,25 po).
Les inserts de 25 K NE FONCTIONNERONT PAS avec votre appareil de 30 K.
Les inserts de 30 K NE FONCTIONNERONT PAS avec votre appareil de 25 K.
L'illustration montre que si les inserts se ressemblent, leur longueur et la couleur
des poignées sont différentes.
(REMARQUE) : Les inserts sont extrêmement FRAGILES. Après être tombés,
avoir été courbés ou rayés, ils PERDRONT LEUR EFFICACITÉ ou fonctionneront
à une température anormalement élevée. Dans ce cas, ils doivent être remplacés
immédiatement. (REMARQUE) : Il est possible que les pointes d'insert
provenant d'autres fabricants donnent des résultats inférieurs, qu'elles
fonctionnent à une température plus élevée ou s'ajustent mal à
L'AUTOSCALER. Les pointes d'insert devraient être remplacées
périodiquement selon les recommandations des fabricants.
ALIMENTATION
L'alimentation doit provenir d'une prise murale reliée à la terre. Le
courant électrique doit être de 110 à 125 volts, 50/60 Hz CA ou (courant
facultatif) de 220 à 240 volts, 50/60 Hz CA. Si vous utilisez un adaptateur de
3 broches vers 2 broches, le fil de terre DOIT ÊTRE relié à la vis du plateau.
Demandez à un électricien de tester la polarité du câblage et la mise à la terre.
Il se peut que la mise à la terre ne soit pas fonctionnelle. Si vous branchez
L'AUTOSCALER à une prise avec disjoncteur différentiel (disjoncteur de
fuite à la terre), il peut arriver que le disjoncteur, d'une grande sensibilité, se
déclenche. Si c'est le cas, branchez L'AUTOSCALER à un autre
disjoncteur.
