Screw the optical fiber onto the laser (See Fig. 14).
Put the laser into operation. A corresponding description is provided in
Chapter 5.
WARNING
The aiming beam must not be aimed at anyone's retina. It comprises an inten-
sive light source even when set to a low power level. Always wear protective
goggles.
Check to make sure that the aiming beam illuminates evenly, i.e. projects
a circular light pattern. To do this, aim the probe tip vertically at a white
background located approx. 20 cm away. If the beam shows no pattern
or the beam pattern is not illuminated evenly, the optical fiber may be
damaged or defective. In this case, return the laser to your dental
depot so that it can be replaced under warranty. Do not use any
defective optical fibers.
Preparation
If the aiming beam projects a uniform circular beam pattern, remove the
distal seal with the fiber cutter. Any liability of Sirona Dental Systems
GmbH regarding mechanical damage to the optical fiber is thereby
canceled.
Protect the optical fiber socket (see Fig. 15, page 24) and the optical fiber
(see Fig. 13, page 23) with the protective caps provided for this purpose.
CAUTION
Cover the optical fiber socket and the optical fiber with the special protective
caps provided for this purpose after every treatment. Prevent dust, dirt and for-
eign particles from entering the optical fiber socket. Make sure that the optical
system is clean before connecting the optical fiber.
CAUTION
Make sure that no dust or dirt can enter the optical fiber socket or the optical
system. Otherwise the unit may be permanently damaged.
When necessary, hold the optic fiber approx. 11 cm below the distal end.
Strip approximately 10 cm of the sheath with the fiber cutter.
Attach the dust cap to the connector of the optical fiber.
Clean and disinfect the optical fiber.

Preparation for clinical application

Select the required optical fiber (200 µm, 320 µm or 400µm).
Make sure that the optical fiber is clean and disinfected.
All handpieces can be cleaned in the autoclave (high-pressure sterilizer; see
Chapter "Cleaning and sterilization", page 42).
CAUTION
The optical fiber may be damaged if it is seriously bent or improperly routed in-
side the handpiece. This may constitute a health hazard for patients, dentists
and dental assistants.
