Oiling all of your handpieces is vital to keep them working
properly. This should ideally be done every 5 minutes of use
(drilling time, not surgery time). The below graph shows how
oiling at 5 minute intervals can signicantly increase the life span
of your handpiece.
Daily Maintenance
High Speed/Motors
The turbine, located in the head of your high-speed handpiece,
rotates at 400,000rpm. Most cars have a maximum 7,000rpm which
puts this speed into perspective. To maintain these high speeds,
the turbine requires plenty of oil to stay lubricated. This is done by
unscrewing your handpiece from its connector and placing 4 drops
of iM3 oil (MD30) into the second largest hole. Re-connect your
handpiece and run it for 30 seconds while holding the handpiece
downwards so gravity pushes the oil to the turbine.
iM3 aerosol oil (MD40) can also be used by spraying directly into the
second largest hole, using the pointed nozzle, for 2 seconds. This will
eliminate the need to run the handpiece as the aerosol force will spin
the turbine and evenly distribute the oil.
Low Speed/Nose Cone/Contra Angle
To oil your cone attachments and contra angles, use iM3 aerosol with
the tubular nozzle. Seperate the cone/contra angle from the motor
and insert the nozzle. Spray for 2 seconds.
It is possible to oil using the drops method with the provided oiling
tube. Apply and operate for 30 seconds as for high speed handpieces.
