Electrical systems generally heat up during continual operation. It is
advised to give the system a break after use to cool down, as listed in the
table on operating mode.
Heating depends on the tool used and the load. After a certain number of
repetitions, the system should cool down. This procedure prevents system
overheating as well as possible injury to the patient or user.
The user is responsible for the use and adherence to the pause sequence
described.

Operating principle
The product 1 contains an electric motor, which is powered by a replace-
able battery 7.
The charged non-sterile battery 7 is inserted into the product 1 via the
sterile funnel 6 and sealed with the cap 8 so that it is sterile.
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 11. The product 1 can also be operated in an oscil-
lation mode.
The product 1 has a coupling on the output side, which allows for the
attachment of various drilling, medullary reaming, saw and screw attach-
ments. These attachments lock automatically when attached to the prod-
uct.
The attachment can be removed by operating a rotating sleeve 13. Drives
in the various attachments change the motor speed and enable operation
of the motor at an ideal operating point.
The attachments have various integrated couplings on the working end, to
at
enable attachment of various tools, with adapter if necessary.
The product 1 is equipped with a cannulation to attach guide shafts or the
like.
