HELPFUL INFORMATION

The use of higher than recommended power setting may cause excessive wear or tip breakage.
Always remember to properly tighten the tip to handpiece using the Guardian wrench.
Scaling efficiency can diminish significantly with worn tips. Inferior performance and poor water
delivery can result from worn, damaged, bent or altered tips. For optimal scaling efficiency, we
recommend checking tips regularly for signs of wear.
CHECKING SYMMETRY TIPS FOR WEAR:
1. Locate the diagram of the tip to be measured on the Symmetry Wear Guide (HF-469).
2. Rotate the tip until it is flat against the card.
3. Evaluate tip condition, comparing length to red/blue lines.
1mm loss can result in 25% efficiency loss
2mm loss can result in 50% efficiency loss
