The SAFEdrive function is a monitoring function for detection of defective
high-speed handpieces. Defective high-speed handpieces can heat up
strongly during use due to additional friction, especially in the head region,
and possibly cause burn injuries. KaVo recommends to activate the
SAFEdrive function during treatments inside the oral cavity in order to reduce
