Set-up WARNING! The device is not protected against explosions. Explosion hazard. Do not operate this device in areas where there is a danger of explosion. CAUTION! Liquid can enter the device through the louvers. Danger of electric shock and electric short circuit in the device. Do not place any products or objects above the device from which liquids can drip down onto the device.
IMPORTANT! Never pull the connection cable. Never squeeze, pinch or excessively bend the connection cable as this can result in damage to the wiring followed by malfunction of the motor ized handle. IMPORTANT! Initial set-up: To allow the device to adapt to the ambient temperature, leave it in the packaging for another two hours before unpacking.
Preparation of Micro Stick S1 Z Connect the suction tube to the suction pump and the other end to the suction connector of the Micro Stick. Set the suction valve to “OFF". NOTE! The irrigation pressure can be changed either via the height difference (hydrostatic pressure) or a pressure sleeve in accordance with the work...
Preparation - Power Drill M1 Z Connect the mains/power cable to Power Drill M1. ' Align the plug (the red markings must be aligned) and push home. Z Place the required tool holder into the handle (Fig. 5). ' Make sure that the pins in the Power Drill receptacle engage in the grooves of the tool holder.
Checks IMPORTANT! Run through the checks before and after each use. Do not use products which are damaged, incomplete or have loose parts. Return damaged products together with any loose parts for repair. Do not attempt to do any repairs yourself. Visual check Z Check the device and accessories for damage, loose or missing parts, hygienic conditions and completeness.
Function check NOTE! Make sure the attached tools are immersed in liquid and are not operated in dry condition (it is necessary to dissipate the heat generated by mechanical friction). Z Switch on the power switch. ' If no handle is connected, the message “no hand piece connected!” is displayed.
4.2.3 Function check of Micro Stick S1 Z Immerse the attached tool in liquid (the window of the outer blade must be open), switch on the suction pump and open the suction valve. ' The liquid must be evacuated. If the suction channel is clogged, clean with a cleaning gun.
Operating principle ART1 The POWER DRIVE detects the connected motorized handle and, depending on the motorized handle, also the tools connected to the handle. In the case of Power Stick M4 and Power Drill M1, only the handle, not the tool or the connected tool holder, is detected. The rotary blades and tools are driven by a motor integrated in the ART1 corresponding handle and connected to the POWER DRIVE...
