Intended Use:

The 3M™ Curing Light 2500 is a high intensity source of blue light (400-500 nm) designed and tested for
polymerizing visible light-cure dental materials such as 3M™ Z100™ MP Restorative, 3M™ Scotchbond™ 1
and 3M™ Vitremer™ Core Buildup/Restorative. It consists of a power module with handpiece holder, a
handpiece that contains the light source, and a fused glass fiber optic light guide. It has been designed
for table top use or wall mount. Consult any restorative manufacturer's instructions for proper technique
and curing times. If not using 3M products, perform a curing performance test as outlined on page 7 of
this instruction booklet.
(Note: For mounting, follow the instructions included with the mounting kit.)
• The fiber optic light guide is provided in a nonsterile condition and must be sterilized prior
to use. Refer to Cleaning Instructions.
• Do not immerse unit in water. Refer to Cleaning Instructions.
• Prolonged exposure may cause retinal damage.
• Prolonged exposure to an area may cause oral tissue trauma.
• The use of an eyeshield or protective glasses that effectively block light below 500 nm
wavelength is recommended for dental staff.
• Do not look directly at the light guide and do not stare at light reflected from tooth surface.
• Do not expose light to persons with extreme brightness sensitivity caused by cataract sur-
gery or photosensitizing drugs.
• Avoid close or prolonged viewing of the curing process.
• This product has not been designed for use with flammable anesthetics or in other explo-
sive environments.
• If it is necessary to change the line plug to fit your outlet type, contact a qualified service
person in your area.
• Handpiece bulb, fuse, light guide and eyeshield are the only user serviceable components.
• The power module has dangerous internal voltage. It can only be serviced by an authori-
zed service center.
• Do not turn off the main power switch until the fan has stopped in order to allow the unit to
cool down.
• Allow the light guide to cool to room temperature before handling to avoid risk of burn.
• Before attempting bulb replacement, make sure the cooling fan has completed the cooling
cycle and has stopped rotating to avoid risk of burn from bulb. Turn off the main switch.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Do not attempt to replace any cracked or scratched optical filter or heat filter.
It is important that the heat filter be properly placed to avoid any tissue trauma. Send
curing light to a qualified service center.
• Do not operate the unit without the optical filter and heat filter.

Assembly

1. Slide the eyeshield onto the light guide.
2. Insert the straight end of the light guide into the chuck mechanism in the front cover of the handpiece until
it stops solidly. The light guide may be rotated to any convenient position by rotating the nose cone.
3. Connect the power cord into the correct supply outlet; refer to the specification label on the power module.
4. Place the handpiece in the handpiece holder.
