Attach a Nosecone
Attach either a standard or a CEM nosecone. The procedure for putting on
a standard nosecone or a CEM nosecone is the same.
1. If using a CEM nosecone, put the standard nosecone into the sterilizer
tray for safe storage.
2. Holding the handpiece,
insert the tip into the
nosecone.
3. Align the dot on the
nosecone with the dot on
the neck of the handpiece.
4. Push the nosecone onto
the handpiece so that the
dots are on top of each
other.
5. Twist the nosecone
clockwise until it locks
into place.
6. The dot on the nosecone
must now align with the
dot on the handpiece.
7. Remove the tip cleaner,
and slide the flue that
corresponds to the
selected tip over the tip
and onto the nosecone.
Make sure to push the
flue base completely over
the nosecone base, and
that the end of the flue
lines up with the
pre-aspiration holes.
