equipment is disassembled. Service personnel must avoid contact with these parts when
troubleshooting the product.
2. To prevent personnel injury, adhere to safety guidelines in accordance with OSHA and other
applicable safety standards.
3. Heater Cartridge Tips are hot when the handpiece is powered on and for a period of time
after power off. DO NOT touch the cartridge. Severe burns may result.
4. PACE Tip & Tool Stands and handpiece cubbies are designed specifically for use with the
associated handpiece and houses it in a manner that protects the user from accidental burns.
Always store the handpiece in its holder. Be sure to place the handpiece in its holder after

fumes.

cartridges are held firmly in position and will maintain their orientation. MT-100 tip cartridges CANNOT be
fully inserted into the TD-100 and TD-100 tip cartridges CANNOT be fully inserted into the MT-100. To
install a tip cartridge, please follow the procedure below.
