How to use the Tip Card
1) Place the neck of the Tip in the cut out.
2) Check wear of the Tip.
3) Reference the green, yellow and red line to check wear of the Tip. *Ref. Fig. 15. At NSK we recommend to replace a Tip
when the Tip meets the yellow line (wear of 1mm) to guarantee safe and effective use.
• Tips are consumables. The efficiency of
dental scaling decreases approximately
CAUTION
25% when the top of the Tip wears 1
mm and approximately 50% when it
wears 2 mm. In addition, the vibration
condition changes according to the
wear, which may damage a patient's
tooth surface. Check the Tip wear
condition with the Tip Card periodically,
and replace the Tip with a new one in
good time.
