Clamp Tools
Clamp tools include any and all tools, abrasives and laps secured by means of a
Clamp Tool Holder. Gesswein Clamp Tool Holders are made to match the reso-
nant frequency of ULTRAMAX DF and SF. The manufacturer does not accept lia-
bility for other manufacturers’ holders.
When using clamp tools, depress the “CLAMP TOOL” selector switch on the front
panel of the ULTRAMAX DF or SF. Selecting “CLAMP TOOL” cuts power output to
provide efficient polishing motion. “CLAMP TOOL” mode eliminates the excessive
heat buildup that causes abrasive stones to break down and wood laps to burn.
Operational Hints for Clamp Tools
•
Use only 6mm Clamp Tool Holders. Do not use 4mm holders – they will
damage the UF-9700 handpiece.
•
Do not apply excessive pressure on the tool. ULTRAMAX DF and SF polish
best when only a small amount of pressure is applied. The more pressure
applied to the work surface, the less cutting power.
•
Do not use highly viscous lubricants when polishing – they reduce ultrasonic
vibration and cutting power. Use Gesswein Stoning and Lubricating Oil for best
results.
•
If an abrasive stone breaks in its holder, apply less pressure on the work surface
and/or reduce output power. If a wood lap begins to burn, reduce output power.
•
To maintain maximum cutting power, periodically retighten the cap screw on
the Clamp Tool Holder during use as the abrasive wears and loosens slightly
in the holder.
•
When making your own clamp tools, refer to recommended sizes listed below
for some commonly used materials.

General Description of Use
6.1 Function
Electric power to ULTRAMAX units is supplied from a 115V AC* source.
ULTRAMAX DF and SF power packs convert this power source to a 24kHz
electrical signal. The signal is sent to the UF-9700 ultrasonic handpiece, which
converts it to mechanical reciprocating motion.
ULTRAMAX DF also converts the AC power source to direct current (30V DC).
Required power is automatically supplied to Gesswein Power Hand 2X 30V DC
mechanical handpieces according to the speed setting selected.
Since ULTRAMAX DF is specifically designed to function with Power Hand 2X
30V DC handpieces, it cannot be used with Power Hand 20V DC handpieces or
other makes of handpieces.
*230V AC models available.
6.2 Attachment of Tools to UF-9700
Ultrasonic Handpiece
Fasten 6mm threaded tools directly to the
UF-9700 handpiece. Use 10 or 13mm
spanner wrenches as illustrated to tighten
tools securely.
To use 4mm threaded tools in the
UF-9700 handpiece, first attach the
6/4mm Tool Adapter using 10mm span-
ner wrenches, then fasten tools to the
adapter with an 8mm spanner wrench
as illustrated. Do not overtighten.
