NOTES:
• This handpiece is designed to accept the 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 appropri-
ate battery charger module.
• See the instructions supplied with the battery charger
and/or battery pack for charging details and specifi-
cations.
WARNING: ALWAYS place the FAST/
STD/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.
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 or damaged battery pack with a shortened
life.
Slide the FAST/STD/Safe control to the FAST or STD
position to allow the handpiece to operate.
Squeeze the pressure sensitive trigger for variable
speed operation.

To Drain Water From 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 hard
to reach areas such as seams, joints, and details
around the blade retainer, trigger, and connector
areas.
Rinse all external surfaces of the handpiece under
running water. Hold the handpiece upright to prevent
water from running into the battery contact area.
If water leaks into the handpiece, tip the handpiece
back as shown to allow drainage from a small open-
ing in the battery contact area.
