fective only with high-speed handpieces from KaVo.

If SAFEdrive is activated and the handpiece is overloaded, the first stage,
"SAFEdrive alert", is activated:
▪ The motor power is reduced (can lead to a drop in motor speed).
▪ The LUX light starts to pulse.
▪ The SAFEdrive icon flashes yellow.
Requirement
The handpiece is not defective
▶ If a handpiece from a third-party manufacturer is used, deactivate SAFEd-
rive or use a high-speed handpiece from KaVo.
▶ If the SAFEdrive icon flashes yellow, relieve the handpiece of its load for at
least 2 seconds, i.e. lift it off the tooth.
ð The motor reaches maximum speed again and the SAFEdrive icon turns yel-
low again.
▶ As soon as the motor reaches maximum speed again and the SAFEdrive
icon turns yellow, continue working as usual making sure to use intermit-
tent mode as the operating mode.

▶ If a handpiece from a third-party manufacturer is used, deactivate SAFEd-
rive or use a high-speed handpiece from KaVo.

ent, remove the handpiece from the mouth of the patient and proceed as
follows:
▶ Carefully check the handpiece head for:
- Temperature
- Damage
- Ability to rotate the dental bur
▶ The motor can be restarted if there is no damage or overheating evident.
