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 Concentrix® FX and FB
30-32 psi – for the Concentrix® SX and 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.)
• Turbine Replacement
For example, if you are using the Concentrix® FX that you want to operate at 32 psi and you are using either 5 feet or 12 feet of tubing, then the pressure
• Replacement Part Numbers should be set at the delivery head to compensate for the air pressure losses.
• Warranty
5 feet tubing
or 12 feet tubing
2. Water Pressure – Adjust water volume at the delivery head to obtain a satisfactory spray mist.
3. StarDental 6-Pin Fiber Optic System(s) set up: refer to the instruction manual that was included with the system and/or tubing.
4. Non-StarDental 6-pin Fiber Optic System(s):
If the handpiece is connected to a non-StarDental 6-pin fi ber optic (F.O.) system, consult your operator's manual of F.O. system for correct voltage.
Non-StarDental F.O. systems must have a rated amperage output between 1.5 Amps DC and .73 Amps DC at 3.1 Vdc. Use StarDental Part # 262962
bulb for non-StarDental F.O. systems that meet these requirements. Adjust the voltage per instructions with the 3.1 Vdc bulb.
If the non-StarDental 6-pin F.O. system has a rated amperage output of at least 1.5 Amps dc at 3.3 Vdc, then the StarDental Part #262522 bulb may be
used. Adjust the voltage per instructions with the 3.3 Vdc bulb.
Autochuck Turbine - Concentrix® FX, Concentrix SX and Concentrix SW:
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:
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 handpiece operation. Depressing
CAUTION
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.
Manual Chuck Turbine - Concentrix® FB:
CAUTION Use burs with an overall length of less than 24mm and a shank length of at least 10.8mm.
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
ISO 4-Line Connector manual chuck turbines have the following bur requirements:

SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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
or your patient.
CAUTION
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".
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 that do not run concentrically
or produce excessive noise.
3. Never operate handpiece without a bur installed.
4. Always use burs with an overall length of less than 24 mm. The shank length must be at least 7.3 mm. This includes most short shank burs.
5. When using handpieces with autochuck turbine - Concentrix FX, SX and SW - 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 from improper or incorrect
placement. An improperly clamped bur may dislodge during use, causing injury to you or your patient. A sudden high-pitched sound or increased vibration
while handpiece is operating alerts the operator to the possibility that the chuck is not clamped suffi ciently to retain the bur or a bent bur is inserted.
Lubricating
The Concentrix® FX, FB, SX and SW Handpieces contain a turbine with steel 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 Concentrix® 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.
