10. Periodical Maintenance Checks
Every 3 months perform periodical maintenance checks, 
referring to the check sheet below. If any abnormalities are 
found, contact your Authorized NSK Dealer.
Points to check Details
Head Cap or Cap 
(FX22) is loose
Tighten firmly using the correct head cap 
wrench or cap wrench.
Rotation
Rotate the handpiece and check for 
abnormalities such as abnormal rotation, 
vibration, noise, and overheating.
CAUTION
• Before turning the head cap, make sure the wrench is 
correctly aligned with the cap. Do not turn the wrench at 
an angle as abrasion of the wrench may occur.
• Secure the shank firmly to the handpiece head so that there 
is no gap between them. A loose connection could make the 
head unstable, resulting in an accident during use.
• Use only a genuine NSK cartridge. If a non genuine 
cartridge is used NSK cannot guarantee performance 
and the handpiece warranty would become invalid.
• Always first finger tighten the head cap then secure 
firmly with the wrench.
• NSK never recommends the disassembly and repair of 
any NSK cartridge. There is NO EXCEPTION. In such a 
case a handpiece may perform abnormally (abnormal 
noise or abnormal vibration). Damage, failure or 
accidents are outside of our guarantee.
