Safety
PLEASE NOTE!
Prior to installation and start-up of the unit, carefully
read the instructions provided herein!
As with all technical devices, the proper function
and safe operation of this unit depend on the user's
compliance with the standard safety procedures
as well as the specific safety recommendations
presented in these Operating Instructions.
1. The unit must be used in strict accordance with the
following Operating Instructions. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for any damage resulting from
the use of this unit for any other purpose.
2. Prior to start-up of the unit make sure that the
operating voltage stated on the rating plate is
compatible with the available mains voltage.
Operation of the unit at a different voltage may
damage the unit.
3. Irradiation of the eyes bears an inherent risk of
health damage. Hence, the light must not be
directed toward the eyes. Exposure must be
restricted to the area of the oral cavity in which
clinical treatment is intended.
4. CAUTION! The Elipar FreeLight unit generates
high intensity light. The emitted light should be
positioned directly above the material to be cured -
intensive light exposure of soft tissues (gingiva,
oral mucosa, and skin) should be avoided as such
exposure may cause damage or irritation.
If applicable, cover such areas. If exposure of soft
tissues cannot be avoided, adjust the polymerization
process to the light level, e.g. by shortening the
polymerization times or increasing the distance
between the light guide exit and the material to be
cured.
5. Condensation resulting from the unit being trans-
ferred from a cold to a warm environment may be a
potential risk. Hence, the unit should be turned on
only after it is completely equilibrated to ambient
temperature.
6. In order to avoid electric shock do not introduce
any objects into the unit with the exception of
replacement parts handled in accordance with the
Operating Instructions.
7. Use original 3M ESPE parts exclusively to replace
defective parts in accordance with these Operating
Instructions. The product guarantee does not cover
any damage resulting from the use of third-party
replacement parts.
