NSK PANA-MAX QD Operation Manual

CAUTION
• Place the most priority of the patient's safety.
• For professional use only. Do not make wrong use of the handpiece.
• Do not disassemble, nor alter the handpiece.
• Check the vibration, noise and overheating outside the patient's oral cavity before use. If
any abnormalities are found, stop using immediately and contact your dealer.
• After extended use the handpiece may become noisy, replace the cartridge with a new one
manufactured by NSK. Failure to replace the cartridge may cause accidents or impair
operator's hearing.
• Depressing the push-button while handpiece bur is in rotation will result in OVERHEATING
of the handpiece head. Special caution must be exercised during use to keep cheek tissue
AWAY from the push-button of the handpiece. Contact with cheek tissue may cause the
push-button to depress and injury to the patient may occur.
• Do not drop, hit, or subject to excessive shock.
• Do not use bent, damaged, or sub-standard burs. The shank could be bent or broken even
within the recommended speed.
• Always keep the bur shank clean. Entry of debris into the chuck could cause bur run-out
and the bur could not be mounted inmost.
• Do not exceed the bur manufacture's recommended speed.
• Do not operate the handpiece without the bur or test-bur.
• Remove the bur or the test-bur after the air supply is stopped completely.

2. Quick Connect Coupling

(1) Quick Connect coupling to handpiece hose. Align
the tubes at the back end of the coupling with the
corresponding holes in the hose connector. Insert
the coupling into the hose connector and tighten
the hose nut by turning it clockwise.
(2) Connecting coupling to the handpiece.
Insert the handpiece into the coupling with the
connector ring pushed backward as shown in
Fig. 1.
(3) Disconnecting handpiece from coupling.
When the handpiece is to be disconnected from the coupling for autoclaving or changing
the handpiece, slide back the connector ring, and the handpiece pops out.
CAUTION
DO NOT slide back the connector ring while the handpiece is under air pressure. The
handpiece may be ejected from the coupling as a result of the pressurization.

3. SUPPLY AIR PRESSURE

Set the pressure at the arrow, Fig. 2, to 0.2-0.25MPa
2
(2.0-2.5kgf/cm ).
CAUTION
Do not exceed the recommended air pressure.
This is important to prevent higher speed which
could cause breaking of the bur and premature
bearing failure.

CAUTION ON BURS

• Do not use non-standard burs. The ISO standard shank diameter is ø1.59 - ø1.60 mm.
• Do not use bent, worn, damaged, or non-concentric burs.
• Always use within the bur manufacturer's recommended allowable speed.
• Always use clean burs. Uncleaned burs may allow debris to build up inside chuck, causing
weak bur retention or premature chuck wear.
• Insert the bur all the way into the chuck until it stops with the push-button fully depressed.
• Do not use short shank burs.

5. CHANGING BURS

(1) Bur Removal
Push the push button in the head cap with thumb
to click, and remove the bur. (Fig. 3)
(2) Bur Mounting
Insert the bur into the head until it stops. Push the
push button and further insert the bur all the way
into the head until it stops.
CAUTION
In case of cutting under heavy vibrations such as in crown removal, there may be a case
where the bur is difficult to remove with ease. In such a case, pull out the bur with pliers
or the like with the push button kept pushed. This case may be prevented if you often
relocate position of the bur in the chuck.

5. LUBRICATION

Supply PANA SPRAY Plus or lubrication oil after each use and/or before autoclaving.
PANA SPRAY Plus
Attach Spray Nozzle onto the PANA SPRAY
1
Plus.
Shake the spray can well to mix the oil and the
2
propellant.
Insert the Spray Nozzle into the handpiece back
3
end.
Spray for 2-3 seconds.

CAUTION
• Be sure to hold the handpiece firmly to prevent the handpiece from slipping out of
hand by the spray pressure when lubricating.
• Supply lubricant until it comes out of the handpiece head.
• Hold the PANA SPRAY Plus can upright.
