CAUTION: For proper laser operation, do not connect the Tip when the Handpiece is
not connected to the fiber.
The Handpiece is now ready to use. To store the Handpiece, place it in the Handpiece Holder
located at the top of the laser console.
Wind any excess Fiber Optic Cable onto the fiber spool counterclockwise around the base of the
console.
CAUTION: Be aware that the metal cannula on the Tips may become hot during use.
Avoid touching the cannula to any tissue. Should the Tip become excessively hot,
make sure it is properly installed (Figure 7.6), or, if the bend radius of the tip is too
acute, the fiber tip inside the cannula may be broken. Replace the tip.
CAUTION: When using uninitiated tips, if the aiming beam is not present or has a
significantly asymmetrical shape, the tip may be broken or damaged; change the tip.
If using a pre-initiated tip, the aiming beam may not be visible, or may be fuzzy; this is normal. The
tip does not need to be replaced.
LASER WARNING: Never operate the laser without a fiber Tip attached to the
Handpiece. Never point the laser at a person’s eyes. All persons present in the
operatory must wear protective eyewear when the laser is in use.
