Care of ultrasonic cutters

If the blade becomes dirty or deformed, replace the blade.

Blade replacement procedure
1. Make sure the power switch is off.

2. Loosen the blade fixing screw on the horn (the metal part at the tip of the handpiece) with the supplied hexagonal wrench, and pull out the blade fixture and blade.

3. Insert the base of the blade to be replaced to the back of the blade fixture in the direction shown in the figure below.

*Please note the direction of the blade tip and the base of the blade.
*Be sure to use the specified blade.
*Do not use blades with holes in them.
*Using a blade other than the specified one is very dangerous because it may cause malfunction, loss or drop of the blade, resulting in failure of normal oscillation.

4. Align the holes of the blade fixing screws with the flat surface of the blade fixture.

5. Check that the blade and blade fixture are inserted all the way to the back, and tighten the blade fixing screw firmly with the supplied hexagonal wrench.

◆If the screw is not tightened securely, it may cause not only poor sharpness but also heat generation and malfunction of the transducer and main unit.
It may also cause the blade to jump out, which is very dangerous.

◆Replace the blade with a new one if it has become dirty or has lost its sharpness as shown in the photo at the top.
◆Do not use screws or wrenches with deformed hexagonal portions as they will be improperly tightened, and replace them with new ones.

If the blade fixture becomes dirty, remove the dirt or replace it.
*The blade fixture is a consumable item.
