As with all technical devices, the proper function and safe operation of this unit depend on the user's
compliance with the safety recommendations presented in these operating instructions.
CAUTION: This curing unit produces high curing energy output! A significant increase in curing
energy is possible compared with conventional Halogen equipment you have previously used. Do not
place light directly on or toward unprotected gingiva or skin. Exposure of the soft tissues (gingiva, oral
mucosa and skin) to high-intensity light may cause damage or irritation.
Adjust your curing techniques in accordance with the increase in curing energy. Some examples are;
decrease curing time, increase composite thickness, increase distance between light guide exit and
light cured materials e.g.
