NOTE: The blade teeth may be directed in any of four
positions.
To Install Battery Pack
NOTES:
• This handpiece is designed to accept a Stryker Large
Battery Pack REF 6215 only. This battery pack can
be charged in the Stryker System 6 Battery Charger
REF 6110-120 configured with the appropriate battery
charger module.
• See the instructions supplied with the battery charger
and/or battery pack for charging details and specifi-
cations.
Slide a fully charged battery pack firmly into the
handpiece until the battery latch snaps, indicating the
battery pack is secure (see figure 2).
1.
Release the blade collar. Ensure the blade collar
springs back to its original position indicating the
blade is properly seated.
Gently tug the blade back and forth to ensure it is
secure.

To Operate Handpiece
Instructions (cont’d)
Periodic Maintenance
Storage and Handling
To ensure the longevity, performance and safety of this
equipment, use the original packaging materials when
storing or transporting this equipment.
INTERVAL ACTIVITY
Prior to each use. Inspect, operate and test the
handpiece to ensure that it is
working properly. Ensure that
there are no loose or missing
components. Check all moving
parts for free movement. Be
alert for unusual sounds or
vibrations and note the
operating speed.
CAUTIONS:
• When operating the handpiece, let the blade do the
cutting. Applying too much pressure will bend the
blade and reduce the cutting quality.
• DO NOT stall the handpiece. Failure to comply may
damage the electric motor and/or battery pack. If
the handpiece jams, release the trigger immediately.
Remove any obstructions before continuing the pro-
cedure.
• If any power loss is experienced while using a hand-
piece, ALWAYS replace the battery pack with a fully
charged battery pack. Failure to comply may result
in a drained, damaged battery pack with a shortened
life.
To Remove Battery Pack
Depress the battery latch and pull the battery pack out.
To Remove Cutting Accessory
Rotate the spring-loaded blade collar clockwise to
realign the slots and remove the cutting accessory.
WARNING: ALWAYS place the run/safe
control in the safe position while the
handpiece is idle, before installing or
removing an accessory, or when passing
the handpiece to another person. Failure to
comply may result in patient and/or health
care staff injury.
Slide the run/safe control to the either position to
allow the handpiece to operate.
Squeeze the pressure sensitive trigger for variable
speed operation.
Slide the run/safe control to the safe position when
you are finished operating the handpiece.

To Drain Water From Handpiece
To Clean Handpiece
Remove the battery pack and cutting accessory from
the handpiece.
Using a brush with stiff, non-metallic bristles and
hospital enzymatic cleaner, scrub the debris from
the handpiece. Pay special attention to crevices and
other hard to reach areas such as seams, joints, and
details around the blade retainer, trigger, and con-
nector areas.
Rinse all the external surfaces of the handpiece
under running water. Hold the handpiece upright to
prevent water from running into the battery pack
contact area.
If water leaks into the handpiece, tip the handpiece
back as shown below to allow drainage from a small
opening in the battery pack contact area.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Visually inspect the handpieces for any remaining
debris; if any debris is present, repeat the cleaning
and rinsing procedure using fresh hospital enzymatic
cleaner.
Dry the handpiece with a lint-free towel.
After cleaning, sterilize as directed. See Sterilization
Recommendations.

Cleaning Recommendations
WARNINGS:
• Clean and sterilize handpieces and batteries before
first and every use.
• Prior to cleaning and sterilization, remove all acces-
sories from the handpieces.
• DO NOT use solvents, lubricants, or other chemicals
unless otherwise specified.
CAUTIONS:
• DO NOT immerse a handpiece or battery pack in
liquid. Moisture may enter the equipment, cause cor-
rosion, and damage the electrical and/or mechanical
components.
• DO NOT allow liquid to run directly into any electrical
connection. Moisture may cause corrosion to electri-
cal components.
To Clean Battery Packs and Accessories
