Swivel Coupler Installation and Maintenance Instructions (only for 002-1277-00 Low-Speed w/Swivel 0-5,000 rpm)

To attach the swivel coupler to the dental delivery tubing, grasp the swivel coupler by the “stem” sticking out of the front of the swivel coupler,

align the drive air and exhaust tubes with the correct outlets in the delivery tube receptacle and thread the tubing nut onto the swivel coupler.

Hand tighten the delivery tubing nut onto the swivel coupler body.

To attach the swivel coupler to the motor, pull back on the release collar and insert the swivel firmly into the motor connector. Release the

collar. Assure that the collar returns to its normal position and is up against the motor body. There must not be a gap between the motor and

the release collar.

To remove the motor from the swivel coupler, pull back on the release collar until the swivel pulls out of the motor connector.

The swivel coupler o-rings and the motor swivel ring should be lubricated daily with handpiece conditioner. For the motor swivel ring, the

lubricant should be applied to the joint between the swivel ring and the motor. Detach handpiece / motor from the swivel coupler at the end of

each day and prior to other extended periods of non-use.

The swivel coupler can be sterilized in a bag at the same temperatures as the other Midmark Low Speed components. Allow to cool down

after sterilization and prior to use.

Maintenance - Low Speed Handpiece (only for 002-1277-01 Low-Speed w/o Swivel 0-20,000 rpm).

Over time a build-up of debris inside the motor may affect the Midmark Low Speed handpiece performance. Apply Midmark one-step

handpiece cleaner/conditioner to the drive air inlet tube and run the handpiece for 8-10 seconds to flush the debris out of the motor between

patients. Like new performance should then be restored. Wipe the Midmark Low Speed handpiece with a clean, dry cloth or gauze to remove

excess oil.

To install or remove swivel coupler hold onto stem

of swivel coupler firmly while attaching it to tubing.

Important Safety Precautions

Equipment Alert

1) Use only concentric, handpiece burs in the Midmark

Low-Speeds. Do not use oversized, bent, grooved,

off-centered burs or diamond instruments.

2) Never attempt to force a bur or Doriot attachment into the

Midmark Low-Speed chucking system. If the shank does not

enter the handpiece easily, it is oversized and should not be

used.

3) The bur or attachment must be fully inserted in the Midmark

Low-Speed before operation.

4) Do not extend burs from handpieces, attachments or heads.

5) Never operate handpiece after head change or bur change

without double checking that the head and bur are securely

retained.

6) Never operate motors or handpieces at air pressure in excess

of recommended maximum setting.

7) Never operate the handpiece without the chuck in the closed

position.

8) Never submerge components in any cleaning solutions.

9) Do not use ultrasonic cleaners.

10) Do not sterilize for extended periods (such as overnight).

11) Do not leave handpiece components in sterilizer after cycle is

completed.

Placing & Removing Handpiece Burs or Doriot Attachments & Heads..

1) Holding the handpiece in your left hand, depress the chuck housing ring toward the body of the handpiece while twisting

1/4 - turn counter clockwise to open the chuck.

2) To install align Doriot slot with tab on housing. Then insert bur or Doriot attachment fully into the chuck housing

3) To remove pull out the bur or Doriot attachment to remove from chuck.

4) Return the ring to its original “locked” position by twisting 1/4 - turn clockwise.

5) Double check to be sure bur / attachment is securely locked in place.

Operating Recommendations

Air Pressure: The dental unit air pressure for low-speed handpiece should be adjusted between 35 and 50 psi.

Air Supply: Moist or dirty air from the compressor can damage the Midmark Low Speed handpieces. Check the filters often. If

dirt or moisture is present, replace the filter and bleed the system.

Empty Operation: The Midmark Low Speed handpiece will not operate unless the chucking system is fully engaged. This

minimizes risk of damage to the chuck.

Forward/Reverse Speed Direction Ring

The speed-direction ring can be rotated either clockwise for forward direction, or counter-clockwise for reverse. The more the

ring is turned away from the mid-position, the faster the operating speed. If the ring is in mid-position, the handpiece will not

operate.
