Why is my KaVo ELECTROmatic PM not reaching maximum speed?
There are several possible reasons why your equipment isn't reaching maximum speed. The supply pressure might have changed significantly. Try repeatedly pushing the foot control down as far as it will go to start up the motor; the automatic calibration should increase the speed continuously up to the maximum pressure. There might be a kink or leak in the supply hose. Remove any kinks and check for damage. If there's damage or leakage, replace the supply hose. The motor or handpiece might be sluggish. Replace or repair the handpiece. If error persists, notify the service engineer.

Why is there no or insufficient spray water in my KaVo ELECTROmatic PM?
There could be several reasons for insufficient spray water. The spray water regulation might be closed, so open it as much as possible. The water line could be soiled; in this case, pull off the handpiece and actuate the spray water in bursts to rinse it. Another cause may be that the filter insert is soiled, so replace the filter on the water inlet. Finally, the spray water on the treatment center or foot control could be closed, so open the spray on the treatment center. If the error persists, unscrew the turbine hose and check if any water flows. If no water flows, notify a service engineer.
What to do if SAFEdrive icon flashes yellow on my KaVo Dental equipment?
If the SAFEdrive icon is flashing yellow, it means the motor is overloaded. If you are using a handpiece from a third-party manufacturer, deactivate SAFEdrive or use a high-speed handpiece from KaVo. If you are using a KaVo high-speed handpiece, relieve the handpiece of its load for at least 2 seconds by lifting it off the tooth. Once the motor reaches maximum speed again and the SAFEdrive icon turns yellow, continue working as usual, making sure to use intermittent mode as the operating mode.
What to do if SAFEdrive icon flashes red on my KaVo ELECTROmatic PM?
If the SAFEdrive icon flashes red and the motor stops automatically, it indicates the motor is overloaded. If you're using a third-party handpiece, try deactivating SAFEdrive or switch to a KaVo high-speed handpiece. If you're already using a KaVo high-speed handpiece, take it out of the patient's mouth and inspect the handpiece head for temperature, damage, and ease of operation. If there's no damage or overheating, restart the motor by pressing the foot control again. Service the handpiece. However, if you notice damage or overheating, replace the handpiece or have it repaired.
