- Never run your handpiece without a bur in it
- Never sterilize your handpiece with a bur in it
- Never exceed 135 deg C when sterilizing your handpiece
- Excessive air pressure can reduce the performance of your handpiece and could cause damage to your turbines bearings
- Never run your handpieces under cold water to cool them off as this is bad for turbine components
- Only use handpieces when they are at room temperature
- Use a cotton swab and Isopropyl alcohol to clean your fibre optic surfaces at both ends
- On lube free and maintenance free turbines only the bearings are maintenance free, the other turbine components still need to be maintained and lubricated
- Never use disinfectants to wipe down or clean your handpieces, only use a 2X2 gauze or a toothbrush with warm water, never submerse your handpiece in water
- Ensure your handpieces are dry before sterilization
- Water should be drained from your clinics air compressor daily in order to prevent water accumulation and to always provide the handpiece with clean dry air
- Dents from dropping handpieces are the #1 cause for replacing parts
- Never exceed 40 PSI as excessive air pressure can lead to premature bearing and turbine wear, more PSI does not equate to more torque
- Use 2 separate cans of lubricant for before and after sterilization use to prevent cross contamination.
- Avoid contacting cotton rolls with your bur as this will cause damage to your turbine.

After sending several hand pieces to Chuck at MILITECH for maintenance and repair, I can’t see why I would ever “ship them off” anywhere else for service again.
