Changing Tips
• Always change tips while power is on
and handpiece is hot. Use a leather cloth,
leather gloves, or pliers to gently turn the
tip to make sure it can be loosened and
safely removed.
• Never remove a tip from a handpiece
that is cold. Cooled and hardened wax
may act as an adhesive and damage your
handpiece as you try to remove the tip.
• Each tip has a coil spring that helps it grip
the handpiece heating rod. For a tighter
grip, slide the coil toward the handpiece.
