WARNING
CAUTION
Fig.26
Do not connect the supplied G16 Tip to a handpiece 
other than a Varios2 handpiece (VA2-LUX-HP / 
VA2-HP). Doing so may cause fracturing of the Tip or 
scratches on the surface of the dentition, prosthesis, 
etc. due to an increase in vibration amplitude (Fig. 24).
 
How to use the Tip Card
1) Place the neck of the Tip in the cut out.
2) Check wear of the Tip.
3) See the green, yellow and red line to check wear of the Tip. *See below what each color means. At NSK we recommend 
to replace a Tip when the Tip meets the yellow line (wear of 1mm) to guarantee safe and effective use.
Tips are consumables. The efficiency of dental scaling 
decreases approximately 25% when the top of the Tip 
wears 1 mm and approximately 50% when it wears 2 mm. 
In addition, the vibration condition changes owing to the 
wear, which may damage a patient’s tooth surface. Check 
the Tip wear condition with the Tip Card periodically, and 
replace the Tip with a new one in good time.
