Operation and Instruction Manual
Scaler mode
Attention
• Liquid is utilized to flush area and cool frictional heat at tooth surface and scaler tip interface. Liquid flow
should be used at all times during operation.
• Use linear motion similar to hand scaling, move side of tip across tooth surface.
Horizontal orientation Vertical orientation
• Scaler tip length wears with use.
• It is important to regularly measure tip for wear, as shown on page 15.
• Regularly inspect tip for other performance reducing flaws such as a bent tip or tip with flat side(s).
• To flush area for supragingival lavage in scaler mode set power level to “0”, no vibration, and adjust
flow rate as needed.
• Do not place point of scaler tip directly against tooth surface as this could result in tooth damage.
• The last 3 millimeters of scaler tip is the effective working area.
• When scaling, use light, sweeping, eraser-like strokes.
• Do not “tap” tooth or use a start-stop motion.
• For best results, use 3 – 5 grams of lateral pressure.
• The round tip profile allows entire circumference of tip to be used for calculus removal.
