Blis-sonic SW & K Installation
Note: Use softened and deionized water. Be sure filters operate efficiently. Before installing scaler, thoroughly purge both the dental
unit air line and water line. Verify recommended filtration of 10 microns air and 25 microns water.
CAUTION: If delivery unit has oil/mist lubrication, detach and drain.
Blis-sonic SW Scaler
Push the Blis-sonic SW
scaler onto swivel until it
snaps into place.
Blis-sonic K Scaler (4-line)
Connect the Blis-sonic K
by threading to the tubing
coupler.
The Blis-sonic SW requires a separate installation of either a 2/3-line
swivel, StarDental Part #261550, or a 4-line swivel, StarDental Part #261547,
depending on the handpiece tubing configuration.
1. Grasp the swivel in front of the bearing assembly between the thumb and
index finger as shown.
2. Slide tubing coupler back until the end of the ISO connector is exposed. Hold
in hand as shown with fingers securing the tubing.
3. Align and insert swivel tubes into the ISO connector holes.
4. While applying slight pressure to hold fittings in the connector holes, slide coupler forward and engage threads. Continue threading
clockwise until hand tight against the swivel.
Wrench
5. Using the universal wrench, StarDental Part #203048, hold the
swivel stationary while tightening the tubing coupler until snug.
Be sure to turn tubing coupler, not swivel. Do not overtighten.
6. Snap scaler onto swivel.
®
Note: To disconnect scaler from swivel, grasp
scaler firmly with one hand and pull tubing
coupler with the other. Do not pull on tubing.
Swivel remains with tubing as shown.
Note: The swivel tubing connection joint may loosen over time, resulting in water leaks and/or loss of power. Check for tightness
periodically.
Air Pressure and Water Flow Adjustments
1. Thread the selected tip. With the scaler operating, rotate tip a 1/4 turn with fingers.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the scaler, do not tighten tips with the universal wrench. Use the wrench only to remove tips
as shown in Tip Installation.
2. Mount 4/6-line pressure gauge, StarDental Part #262591, between the scaler and the air supply tubing for the
Blis-sonic K Ergonomic Scaler. Mount the pressure gauge between the swivel and air supply tubing for the
Blis-sonic SW Ergonomic Scaler. Snap scaler onto swivel.
3. Turn water OFF.
4. Fully depress foot control. Adjust air supply on
delivery unit until gauge shows 40 psi, 2.72 kg/cm
NOTE: Do not exceed 40 psi. Patient sensitivity and tooth damage may result.
5. After adjustment, uncouple the pressure gauge and install scaler directly to the tubing.
6. With scaler running and tip held vertically, adjust water flow until water atomizes at tip. When water
P E R F E C T ® atomizes, the water flow needed is optimized (see illustration above).

Tip Installation
Note: Do not sharpen or alter tips in any way.
1. Thread the selected tip onto the scaler with the scaler operating until it stops turning.
Rotate slightly with fingers until tight.
• Rotor & Seal Rings Replacement
• Blis-sonic K Muffler Replacement
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the scaler, do not tighten tips with the universal wrench.
• Blis-sonic K Water Tube Gasket Replacement Use the universal wrench ONLY to remove tips. Use the wrench as illustrated.
• Replacement Part Numbers
2. When the procedure is complete and the scaler is no longer in use, remove the tip and
• Warranty blow compressed air through the tip to remove water trapped inside the tip. Cap it with
the cover provided, StarDental Part #261358. This practice prevents injury to patient or
staff.
3. To change tips, always loosen or tighten with the scaler running. The vibration makes
changing tips easier.
Blis-sonic SW: StarDental ® Part #264563
Air Pressure: 40 psi (2.7 atmospheres)
at the scaler Tip Operation
Air Flow: 1.5 SCFM (42.0 SLM)
Water Flow: 25 cc/min. @ 15 psi
Weight: 1.9 ounces (54.6 grams)
Remember:
1) Use the last 1/16" of tip
2) Use the edges of the tip, not the flats
3) Keep the tip moving in either of two
motions as shown.
Operation of the Blis-sonic SW and K Ergonomic Sonic Scaler Tip is similar to that of an ultrasonic scaler. Follow these steps to
minimize the risk of damage to restorations.
1. Always scale with tip at an angle to the restoration margin.

Cleaning
CLEANING The Tips
WEEKLY - Blow compressed air through the tip to remove water trapped inside the tip.
Next, clean outside of tip with toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol. Then run cleaning wire,
StarDental Part #256719, through entire tip starting at opening in front.
CLEANING Blis-sonic SW or K Water Tube
On a regular basis or if a water tube blockage occurs, remove the
tip (and on the Blis-sonic SW also disconnect from swivel). Push
the cleaning wire through the internal water tube using needle nose
pliers at the front on both the Blis-sonic SW and K as shown. Push
small lengths of 3 to 4 mm at a time until the wire emerges at the
opposite end. Pull wire completely out.
CLEANING the Swivel
Note: To insure peak performance and proper functioning of scaler, clean swivel and mating
components daily or as needed. Do not attempt to disassemble swivel.
1. Disconnect swivel from scaler and tubing. Depress foot control; verify that water exits
tubing.
2. Connect swivel to tubing. Depress foot control; if almost no water exits front of swivel,
clean as follows.
3. Detach swivel from tubing and find water tube
4. Insert cleaning wire, StarDental Part #256719, into water tube. When the
wire will not insert, move wire back and forth to loosen debris at blockage.
5. Remove wire and apply a blast of air into water tube with syringe air.
