• None of the VDW.SILVER
®
components
are delivered disinfected or sterilized: com-
ponents such as central unit, micromotor
and micromotor cable need to be disinfect-
ed, the contra-angle needs to be sterilized
prior to first use and in between each case!
• Never place the micromotor or any other
device accessories in an autoclave unit or
ultrasonic tank. None of the components
of the VDW.SILVER
®
may be sterilized
(contra-angle excepted, see separate con-
tra-angle operating instructions).
• Do not immerse the device in ultrasonic
cleaners.
• The plastic enclosure is not sealed, do
not use any liquid or spray directly on the
console, especially on the monitor or near
the electrical sockets.
• Do not crimp the cables exiting the
micromotor, foot pedal and battery charger.
• Do not open the device to replace the
battery for any reason, as there is the risk of
a short-circuit. Opening the device will
invalidate the warranty. The battery can
be replaced only by an authorized service
center.
• Follow the file manufacturer’s instructions
for use of the endodontic files.
• The file system shown on the display
must always match the file in use. This is
of the utmost importance in order to
avoid misusing reciprocating files and
continuously rotating files.
• Do not use files designed for continuous
rotation in reciprocating mode. Check the
mode indicated on the display before use.
• Do not use files designed for reciprocation
in continuously rotating mode. Check the
mode indicated on the display before use.
• Torque and speed values are subject to
change by the file manufacturers without
notice. Therefore, the preset values in the
library must be checked prior to use. Torque
values shown on the display are accurate
and reliable only with VDW Endo 6:1 contra-
angles properly maintained and lubricated.
• The accuracy of movement provided
by the motor is guaranteed only if the
original VDW Endo 6:1 contra-angle is used,
properly maintained and lubricated (for
more details see separate contra-angle
operating instructions).
• Do not use any other contra-angle or other
reduction rate than the original one.
• During calibration, the micromotor will
vary its speed from the minimum value
(1500 rpm on the micromotor shaft) to the
maximum value (6000 rpm on the micro-
motor shaft). Do not insert any file during
calibration.
• Calibrate every time the contra-angle is
lubricated or replaced after sterilizing, or
at least once a week (see separate contra-
angle operating instructions).
• Refer to the separate operating in-
structions of the VDW Endo 6:1 contra-
angle and the MAINTENANCE chapter under
7.8. of this manual before lubricating it.
• When lubricating the contra-angle,
carefully check that no lubricant penetrates
the micromotor.
• Do not lubricate the micromotor for any
reason, as lubricant contamination of the
micromotor might damage it and might
have a strong negative effect on its safe
operation.
• Never introduce any foreign objects into
the micromotor shaft.
• The micromotor may overheat if exces-
sive force is applied. If the micromotor
overheats too often or overheating persists,
contact your service center.
• Before starting the micromotor, verify the
correctness of the motor settings.
• The battery charger must be supplied
at a voltage ranging between: 100-240 V
(+/- 10 %), 47-63 Hz. Use only original parts.
• If the BATTERY LED starts flashing red
during use, connect the device immediately
to the battery charger, as the device might
switch off.
• In order to ensure good battery life, it is
recommended to always work on battery
power and recharging the battery only when
it is fully discharged.
