6 Operation | 6.6 Protection function SAFEdrive (PM/PC only)
WARNING
Inactivation of the SAFEdrive function.
Increased risk of burn injury or overheating due to defective high-speed hand-
pieces.
▶ KaVo recommends to always activate the SAFEdrive function during dental
treatment with high-speed handpieces or the COMFORTdrive.
Note
The SAFEdrive function is a monitoring function for detection of defective
high-speed handpieces. Defective high-speed handpieces can heat up
strongly during use due to additional friction, especially in the head region,
and possibly cause burn injuries. KaVo recommends to activate the
SAFEdrive function during treatments inside the oral cavity in order to reduce
the risk of burn injuries caused by defective high-speed handpieces.
Note
SAFEdrive is deactivated by default at the time of delivery.
SAFEdrive reduces the probability and damage upon overheating of defective or
poorly maintained handpieces thus minimising the risk of burn injuries to the
patient.
SAFEdrive function:
Possible defects can be detected by continuous monitoring of the idling proper-
ties of the handpiece during its use.
If the protective function is triggered, the SAFEdrive initially reduces the motor
speed and then stops the motor altogether if the excessive load persists.
Note
SAFEdrive works only with KaVo high-speed handpieces of the 25L, E25,
M25, M05, 25LP, 25LPA, 25LPR, 25LCA series and the COMFORTdrive motor-
ised contra-angle handpiece. Inadvertent triggering of the SAFEdrive function
cannot be excluded if handpieces made by other manufacturers are used.
6.6.1 Turning SAFEdrive on / off
The user can switch the SAFEdrive function on or off individually for the three
speed memories.
With regard to handpieces from third-party manufacturers, KaVo recommends
inactivating the SAFEdrive function as the SAFEdrive protection function is ef-
fective only with high-speed handpieces from KaVo.
▶ Press both the plus and minus key for 2 seconds to start the "Settings"
