and Rinse

and rinse handpiece under warm tap water with a soft sponge. While

handpiece is scrubbed well. Once a week or as needed, gently rub alcohol-soaked
cotton swab against the inside end of the fiber optic element to remove
debris or lubricant build up.

holding the can of Midwest Plus Aerosol Spray upright, insert
nozzle fully into handpiece (without a bur). Cover head of handpiece
with Midwest spray guard or paper towel. Lubricate your handpiece
with one quick spray of Midwest Plus then properly expel.
- All
lubricant must be thoroughly expelled by running handpiece (without
a bur) until it reaches normal speed, or until all excess lubricant
is expelled (a minimum of 20 seconds). Expel in operatory or using
Midwest Air Station. Wipe off any excess lubricant on outside of handpiece
with a dry gauze pad or paper towel.
- On a
weekly basis or if button gets stiff, spray Midwest Plus Aerosol
