The Woodpecker PT-A handpiece may not switch to air polishing after being lifted up due to several possible issues: 1. Clogging of the handpiece tail cord – The tail cord may need to be cleaned or replaced. 2. Solenoid valve failure – This requires contacting the local distributor or manufacturer for assistance. 3. Water volume adjustment knob not open – Ensure the knob is open. 4. Incorrect water supply mode selection – The mode displayed on the screen should match the actual water supply. 5. Filter clogging – The filter should be cleaned. 6. Impurity in the solenoid valve – Contact the local distributor or manufacturer. 7. Water line clogging – This requires professional service. 8. Damaged O-ring or rubber ring on the powder tank – The broken part should be replaced. 9. Powder residue at the thread – Remove any residual powder to ensure proper sealing. 10. Loose or damaged upper cover of the powder tank – The cover should be replaced if necessary.
