POLISHER OPERATION
1. Dampen the rubber cup and place a small amount of polishing paste on it.
2. Rotate the POWER control to the minimum setting in the prophy range.
3. Depress the footswitch and the rubber cup will begin to rotate. The speed of rotation may be adjusted to
your desired level by re-adjusting the POWER control.
4. To keep the paste from flying off the cup, maintain a low speed and bring the cup up to the tooth before
depressing the footswitch.
IMPORTANT: The prophy angle is only rated to 5000 RPM - therefore, in order to prevent premature failure of
the angle keep the unit set in the prophy range whenever the prophy angle is used.
5. High-speed settings will throw the polishing paste off of the rubber cup. Always start with a low speed and
then adjust to a higher speed as required.
6. Place the end of the angle into the patients’ mouth and apply the rubber cup to the surface of the tooth with
a circular motion. Do not allow the rubber cup to remain stationary on one area for an extended period of
time as friction can overheat / burn the tooth.
POLISHER MAINTENANCE: PROPHY ANGLE
The prophy angle is a precision engineered dental device. All of the gears and shaft assemblies are made of
high-grade stainless steel, which if cleaned and lubricate correctly will provide long, trouble-free service.
Daily Cleaning and Lubrication:
1. Remove prophy angle from straight handpiece.
2. Discard used rubber cup.
3. Follow the cleaning instructions that were supplied with the prophy angle.
4. Place a new rubber cup onto the angle.
5. Slide the prophy angle down over the straight handpiece and lock it in place.
IMPORTANT: For a long dependable life, the prophy angle should be lubricated daily, if possible after each
use. Use mineral oil (#P-O1, supplied with the unit). Keep hair away from prophy cup and head cap.
SUGGESTION: To keep hair from becoming tangled in the angle, we recommend using masking tape /
painters tape around the lips, keeping hair in place and away from treatment area.
