push chuck onto bottom of burr sha until snug
CHUCK AND BURR MAINTENANCE
*** Chuck and burr assembly are held together by friction; should they become loose or not t snugly, use the following
procedures to tighten.
• If base of chuck becomes loose on motor sha, pinch base of chuck gently with small pliers as shown in
Figure I below (Note: slit in base of chuck should be facing directly away from you)
• If burr becomes loose in chuck, pinch longer portion of chuck gently with small pliers as shown in Figure
II below (Note: slit in longer portion of chuck should be facing directly away from you)
STERILIZATION OF THE ALGERBRUSH II
********* DO NOT AUTOCLAVE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT! IT WILL BE RUINED! *********
• Remove chuck and burr assembly from ALGERBRUSH II (per instructions above); Separating burr by itself is ne, but
burrs are small and hard to handle; therefore, it is easier to keep chuck and burr assembly together.
• Housing can be cleaned by wiping with alcohol
• Refer to Appendix 1 for validated sterilization and cleaning procedures.
APPENDIX 1: CLEANING AND STERILIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
