4.6 POSITIONING THE ROTATING TIP
The Loop
tip rotates approximately 345 degrees. (Fig. 1) To prevent damage, do not try to rotate the tip past the
™
stopping point. Rotate the tip into the desired position for use.
To make full use of the light intensity provided, place the tip as close to the tooth surface as possible while avoiding
direct contact with the dental material. Keep the lens clean at all times to obtain full light intensity. A damaged tip
or lens substantially reduces the light intensity and must be replaced immediately, sharp edges may cause serious
injury!
NOTE: Before placing the handpiece in the charging base, always rotate the tip so that the marks align (Fig. 2).
