• Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic

the handpiece into service according to the EMC
information in this manual. Portable and mobile RF
communications equipment can affect the function of
the handpiece.
• ALWAYS place the handpiece in the safe mode while
the handpiece is idle, before installing or removing
any accessory, or when passing the handpiece to another person. Failure to comply may result in patient
and/or health care staff injury.
• A wobbling attachment may cause bone or tissue
damage or inaccurate wiring or pin placement. If
wobbling occurs, see Troubleshooting Guide. Failure
to comply may result in patient injury.
• DO NOT apply excessive pressure, such as bending
or prying, with a cutting accessory to prevent fracturing the accessory. Applying excessive pressure,
especially during high operating speeds, may cause
the cutting accessory to bend significantly and result
in tissue damage, loss of tactile control and the ejection of cutting accessory pieces at a high velocity.
Failure to comply may result in patient and/or health
care staff injury.
• DO NOT reuse single use cutting accessories. Failure
to comply may result in patient and/or health care
