7.8. Main tenan ce
Routine Maintenance
• Inspect the micromotor cable at least once
every six months. If any deterioration of the
sheathing is noticed, have the cable replaced by
an authorized service center.
• Check for liquids or smoke exiting the device. In
this case, remove the power supply from the
device immediately and contact an authorized
service center.
• For optimal battery performance, replace the
battery every 2 years.
• For the maintenance, e.g. lubrication of the
VDW Endo 6:1 contra-angle, refer to the separate
contra-angle operating instructions and check the
additional warnings below.
WARNINGS
• The contra-angle should be lubricated
after cleaning and disinfecting, but prior to
sterilization.
• When lubricating the contra-angle, check
that no lubricant penetrates the micromotor.
• If the contra-angle is lubricated manually,
please ensure excess oil is removed by
compressed air (blow for approx. 5 sec.)
before contra-angle is being put back on
the micromotor. Calibrate after lubrication.
• If the contra-angle is lubricated automatically in a maintenance or lubrication
device, please follow the instructions for
use of the device manufacturer carefully
and ensure no excess oil is left in the
processed contra-angle.
• Do not lubricate the micromotor for any
reason. Lubricant may contaminate the
