1. Safety Instructions
ATTENTION! Read these Operating Instructions carefully before plugging
in and operating the unit! As with all technical units, the trouble-free
function and safe operation of this unit can be assured only if standard
safety procedures and the special safety instructions in these Operating
Instructions are observed.
3M Deutschland GmbH guarantees trouble-free operation of
the Pentamix system only if 3M system components are used
exclusively.
1. The unit may be used only in strict accordance with the following
instructions. We accept no liability for any damage arising from any
other or improper use of this unit.
2. If the unit is moved from a cold into a warm environment,
condensation can result in a hazardous situation. Never begin
operating the unit until it has reached the ambient temperature.
3. The power plug must be connected to a suitably grounded socket
before the unit is operated. If an extension cable is used, make sure
that it also provides a ground wire.
4. Position the unit so that the power plug is accessible at all times.
5. The unit must be placed on a non-slip, level surface to insure stable
placement.
6. Always turn off the unit and disconnect the plug from the power
source before changing the plunger discs.
7. When changing the plunger discs, position the smooth side of the
new discs towards the foil bag (the opposite side of the discs with
the fan-shaped depressions must face away). Otherwise, the foil bag
might be damaged.
8. To avoid electrical shock, do not insert any objects into the unit.
9. Use only genuine 3M parts when replacing defective components as
directed in these Operating Instructions. We assume no liability for
any damage caused by the use of non-3M parts.
10. If, for any reason, it is possible that the safety of a unit has been
compromised, that unit must be removed from operation and
identified in such a way that it is not inadvertently operated again by
a third party. Safety may have been compromised, for example, if the
unit does not work as specified or is visibly damaged.
11. Keep solvents, flammable liquids, and powerful heat sources away
from the unit as they may damage the plastic housing.
12. Do not allow any cleaning agents to enter the unit during cleaning as
they could cause an electrical short or a dangerous malfunction.
13. Only a properly trained, authorized technician may open the unit
housing and repair the unit.
Please report a serious incident occurring in relation to the device to 3M
and the local competent authority (EU) or local regulatory authority.
2. Product Description
Pentamix
™
Lite is an automatic mixing unit for the preparation of Penta
impression materials. 3M Penta impression materials have been specifi-
cally designed for this unit and are supplied in special foil bags. This is
the only form of packaging which can be used in the Pentamix Lite units.
Every Penta
™
foil bag is sealed with a PentaMatic sealing cap. The
external geometry of the sealing cap insures its proper positioning on the
cartridge. When the Pentamix unit is turned on, a special internal device
opens the foil bag automatically once sufficient pressure has been built
up by the plunger. The connection pieces located on the PentaMatic
sealing caps serve for proper attachment of the mixing tip.
The cartridges and the PentaMatic sealing caps act together as a
stable unit for the preparation of pastes in the Pentamix unit and allow
a change of products without intermediate cleaning of the device and
