Generally, electrical systems will heat up if in constant
use. For this reason the handpiece and the attachments
should be allowed to cool for at least 60 seconds (Ys off)
following the time of constant use (Xs on) as outlined
on the table above. After a certain amount of cycles
(defined in the above table under "Cycles") the hand-
piece and attachment should be allowed to cool down.
Observing this instruction prevents the system from
overheating and possibly harming the patient or user.
The user is responsible for the application and for turn-
ing off the system as prescribed. If longer periods of
constant use are required, an additional handpiece and/
or attachment should be used.
Depending on the cutting tool used and the load
applied, the heat generated by the handpiece, attach-
ment and/or cutting tool can vary.

Precautions:
• Carefully observe the above recommended duty
cycles.
• Always control the temperature of the system to
prevent overheating and possibly harming the
patient or user.
• Above mentioned duty cycles can be reduced due
to higher loads applied and due to ambient temper-
atures above 20°C/68°F.
This needs to be taken into consideration during
the planning of the surgical intervention.
• Always use new cutting tools to prevent heating up
of the system due to reduced cutting performance.
• Cutting tools must be cooled with irrigation fluid
to prevent heat necrosis. For this purpose, irrigate
manually.
• Careful maintenance of the system will reduce
heat build-up in the handpiece and the attach-
ments.
• The Battery Power Line II must not be stored or
operated in an explosive atmosphere.
