Handpiece Operation
Air and Water Adjustment
1. Air Pressure –
Note: To prevent premature damage to the turbine, do not exceed 34 psi when using a HiFlo swivel.
Using air pressure gauge StarDental Part #262591, for 4-Line tubing and handpieces, if a gauge is available, set
pressure to:
30-32 psi – for the Star® Simplicity FX
30-32 psi – for the Star® Simplicity SW
If a gauge is not available, set pressure at delivery head allowing 1 psi pressure loss for every foot of tubing.
(See Specifi cations for recommended operational pressure.)
For example, if you are using the Star® Simplicity FX that you want to operate at 32 psi and you are using either 5 feet
or 12 feet of tubing, then the
pressure should be set at the delivery head to compensate for the air pressure losses.
2. Water Pressure – Adjust water volume at the delivery head to obtain a satisfactory spray mist.
Autochuck Turbine - Star® Simplicity FX and Star® Simplicity SW:
• Warranty
CAUTION Use burs with an overall length of less than 24mm and a shank length of at least 7.3mm.
Use standard length concentric diamond and carbide burs with .0628" (1.6mm) nominal
diameter friction grip shanks designed for high speed handpieces. Every StarDental
Diamond Bur meets specifi cations below for recommended lengths. Contact your dealer
for a complete list of StarDental Diamond Burs. StarDental autochuck turbines have
the following bur requirements:
2/3 Line
Use only burs with hardened, tempered steel shanks or carbide shanks. Every
StarDental Bur maintains required hardness. Before use, verify concentric rotation
by operating handpiece outside the oral cavity in a safe place.
Note: Do not use burs that produce excessive noise or do not run concentrically.
Do not use burs that are modifi ed, eccentrically designed, or have bent or 'soft'
(non-heat treated) shanks.
Autochuck Bur Changing System
1. Insert bur into autochuck until resistance is felt.
2. Depress autochuck end cap button and continue to feed-in bur until it clicks and stops.
3. Release end cap button. Now, apply light inward force to the dental bur. This will
help set the chucking mechanism for initial start up. (Always tug on bur after it has
been installed to confi rm that it is secured).
1. To remove, grasp handpiece fi rmly so your thumb touches the end cap and push
until a slight 'click' is noticed.
2. Pull bur straight out.
3. Release end cap.
Never depress the autochuck end cap button or rest the end cap against any part of the oral anatomy during
CAUTION
handpiece operation. Depressing the end cap while a bur is rotating can activate the chuck mechanism and result
in end cap heat-up and/or loss of bur retention.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FX
ISO 4-Line Connector
Always insert the bur full length of the chuck. If you attempt to extend it from the chuck, the bur may dislodge during use and cause injury to you
Tubing
or your patient.
Coupler
Replace the turbine when the handpiece fails to achieve full speed and/or increases sharply in noise level. This is an indication
of a failing turbine. A failing turbine will reduce the effi ciency of the handpiece and may result in end cap heat up. See "Turbine
Replacement".
Tubing
1. Always tug on bur after chuck is loaded to confi rm that the bur is secured.
2. Before use, verify concentric rotation by operating the handpiece outside the oral cavity in a safe place. Do not use burs
SW that do not run concentrically or produce excessive noise.
ISO 4-Line 3. Never operate handpiece without a bur installed.

short shank burs.
5. When using handpieces with autochuck turbine - never depress end cap while bur is rotating.
6. Use only recommended burs to prevent damage to handpiece turbine and/or chuck and in some cases to prevent burs

WARNING
CAUTION
Lubricating
The Star® Simplicity FX and SW Handpieces contain a turbine with ceramic bearings that are lubricated and sealed to keep the dirt
out, therefore, never clean ultrasonically or immerse in solvent that would dilute the lubricant. Lubrication of the turbine is required
daily and prior to sterilization. DentaLube II is required to ensure extended life of the Star® Simplicity Handpieces.
For maximum turbine life do not exceed recommended pressure.
Note: Lubricate handpiece daily. Use only DentaLube II, StarDental Part #262539.
1. Disconnect handpiece.
2. Assemble the conical red tip applicator, StarDental Part #202954, into the DentaLube II bottle cap.
3. Find drive air tube at rear of handpiece and place two drops of DentaLube II.
(See illustrations for more detail).
4. With bur in place connect handpiece to tubing, operate for 20 seconds to expel excess lubricant.
Note: Never operate handpiece without bur in place.
