5. Setup

1. Unpack the Device: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Attach Handpiece Holder: The handpiece holder comes detached. It can be placed on either side of the control unit depending on your dominant hand. Use the provided strong double-sided mounting tape to secure it.
3. Connect Power Adapter: Plug the power adapter into the control unit and then into a suitable electrical outlet (100-240 VAC; 50-60 Hz).
4. Connect Handpiece: Plug the handpiece cable securely into the designated port on the control unit.
5. Initial Run-in (Important): Before first use, allow the handpiece to run for 30 minutes at approximately 10,000 RPM. This process helps to properly break in the internal components. Ensure a safety bit is installed during this run-in period.

6. Operating Instructions

1. Inserting Grinding Bits:
   • To open the quick-release chuck, turn the front part of the handpiece to the left (counter-clockwise).
   • Insert the desired grinding bit with a shaft diameter between 2.332 mm and 2.350 mm fully into the chuck.
   • To secure the bit, turn the front part of the handpiece to the right (clockwise) until it clicks into place. Ensure the bit is firmly seated before operation.

3. Changing Rotation Direction:

7. Maintenance and Care
