Operating principle

The product 1 has an electric motor which is connected to the ELAN 4
control unit and supplied with voltage by means of a permanently con-
nected cable 5.
The output speed is controlled electronically and can be continuously reg-
ulated with the knob for speed control 2.
The direction of rotation can be changed from right to left again using the
knob for left rotation 7. The product can also be operated in an oscillation
mode.
On the output side, the product 1 has a coupling 8, which enables the
coupling of various drilling, medullary reamers, sawing, and screw attach-
ments. These attachments lock themselves when plugging into the prod-
uct.
By actuating a rotating sleeve 10 the attachment 13 can be loosened.
Gearing in the various attachments changes the tool speed and enable
operation of the motor at an ideal operating point.
The attachments have various integrated couplings on the working end, to
receive corresponding tools, with adapters as applicable.
The product is equipped with a cannulation to receive guide spears or the
like.
