WARNING
COMPRESSED AIR
The compressed air system that operates this unit is under pressure. Compressed air can propel dust or loose particles and can
cause bodily injury or damage. Always turn the system off and bleed off air pressure before attaching or removing air lines or
accessories or servicing this unit. All air lines should be periodically inspected and replaced if worn or damaged.
If an outside compressed air supply is used to power this unit, the air supply must be regulated to 80 psi or below. Excessive air
pressure could cause certain components to rupture.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE
This system is powered by high voltage electricity. Like any other electrically powered device, if it is not used properly, it can
cause electrical shock. Always plug the power cord into an electrical outlet with adequate fuse protection and proper grounding.
In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Improper
grounding of the unit can result in a risk of electric shock. Always unplug the unit before doing any service or repair to the unit.

WARNING
PRESENCE OF HEAVY METALS/AMALGAM
This system may be equipped with optional suction instruments. As part of dental procedures, particles of amalgam may be
suctioned into the dental suction handpieces and collected within the system and trap filter. Recycle amalgam in accordance
with local guidelines.
