6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Powering On and Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the power button on the handpiece for 3 seconds until the LED screen lights up.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the power button again for 3 seconds to turn the device off.
6.2. Mode Selection
- Reciprocating Mode: Press the mode button until the “Reciprocating” indicator appears on the display. This mode is ideal for certain file systems.
- Continuous Rotation Mode: Press the mode button again to switch to continuous rotation, which is suitable for most conventional files.
6.3. Speed and Torque Settings
- Adjusting Speed: Use the “+” or “-” buttons to set the rotation speed (rpm) according to the specific file system you are using.
- Adjusting Torque: Use the torque control to set the maximum force applied during operation. If the torque limit is reached, the auto-reverse feature will activate.
6.4. Reciprocating and Continuous Rotation
- Reciprocating Rotation: This mode alternates the rotation direction, mimicking the hand-filing motion. It is commonly used with specific file systems to enhance cutting efficiency.
- Continuous Rotation: This is the default mode for most endodontic files and ensures smooth, consistent rotation for effective canal shaping.
6.5. Battery Management
- Charging: Place the handpiece on the charging base when not in use. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours.
- Battery Life: A fully charged battery provides up to 2 hours of continuous use, depending on speed and torque settings.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
- Sterilization: After each use, remove the contra-angle head and sterilize it in an autoclave at the manufacturer’s recommended settings.
