3.6.1 Installing tension retaining spring
When installing, first make sure that the larger curved tip of the spring points to the
clockwise direction (viewed from the top) as it is inserted into the thread bush, then
insert the smaller curved tip into the small hole. Apply force to press the retaining
spring into the grooves of the thread bush.
Caution: not installing the tension retaining spring could cause loss of tension
capacity, resulting in damage to the handpiece!
3.6.2 Tension problems
Be aware that the size of each end of the tensioning pin is different, ensure the
larger end sits in the tension pin cup. Also ensure that the downward tips of the
chickenfeet are pressed firmly into the holes on the cutter. To apply tension,
smoothly rotate and tighten the tension nut. Do not apply too much pressure as it
may cause overheating and accelerate blade wear. When cutting is not smooth, first
check the sharpness of the blades.
Caution: the downward tips of the chickenfeet must be pressed firmly into the
holes on the cutter, otherwise tension cannot be applied properly.
