CAUTION! 

Risk of injuries to third parties standing in 

the work area! 

If the machine is used in a careless manner, third 

parties standing in the work area may become 

injured. 

Therefore: 

– Be aware of the machine's dimensions and 

weight while using the machine. 

– Pay attention to third parties in the work area 

when moving around with the machine.

Risk of infection 

Overheating 

6.5.2 Dental treatment 

Bleeding 

T 

NOTICE! 

Risk of infection! 

The gums of the animal may become hurt during 

the dental treatment. As a consequence, bacteria 

may enter the wound and cause infections. 

Therefore: 

– Make sure the tetanus vaccination of the animal 

is up to date at the time the dental treatment is 

performed. 

NOTICE! 

Danger to the animal's health and risk of 

machine damage if the rasping head 

overheats! 

Depending on the intensity of the pressure exerted 

on the rasping head and the duration of the 

grinding, the rasping head may become hot. If 

overheated, the rasping head may burn the animal 

and cause damage to the machine. 

Therefore: 

– Stop grinding at regular intervals and cool the 

rasping head by immersing it briefly in water. 

IMPORTANT! 

There is no danger to the animal's health if 

bleeding of the gums occurs in the course of 

normal dental treatment. 

Bleeding may occur, in particular, during the 

treatment of the teeth in the back of the mouth 

(M3) as these teeth are rather close to the gums. 

The following is a list of recommended tasks to be performed 

during dental treatment. Each dental treatment must be performed 

and assessed individually and in accordance with the conditions 

present. 

32 2010-03-17

6.5.2.1 Lower jaw 

6.5.2.2 Upper jaw 

6.5.2.3 Hook at lower jaw 

The mouth must be opened all the way. 


1. When positioning the rasping head at the location to be 

ground, align the rasping head parallel to the teeth on the 

tongue side. 

2010-03-17 33 

Use 

2. Move the rasping head from the back to the front. While doing 

so, rotate the rasping head by 45° across the chewing surface. 

1. Position the rasping head between cheek and grinder. 

2. Move the rasping head from the front to the back. While doing 

so, change the angle of approach by 30° to 60°. 

Fig. 21 

If there is enough room: 

1. Position the rasping head between upper and lower jaw. 

2. Grind off the hook at the lower jaw. 

If the rasping head cannot be positioned directly between upper 

and lower jaw due to the size of the hook: 

1. Position the rasping head parallel to the teeth on the tongue 

side and proceed to the spot that needs to be treated. 

Fig. 22


Use 

6.5.2.4 Hook at upper jaw 

Hook at 106 and 206 1. Put the rasping head diagonally to the hook and round the 

hook from the front by grinding. 

Hook at 111 and 211 If there is enough room: 

1. Put the rasping head to the hook between upper and lower 

jaw. 

2. Grind off the hook. 

If the rasping head cannot be positioned directly between upper 

and lower jaw due to the size of the hook: 

1. Position the rasping head on the cheek side and proceed to 

the spot that needs to be treated. 

2. Make sure the cheek muscle is not tightened to prevent 

possible injury.

6.5.2.5 Incisors and canines 

6.5.2.6 Chewing surface 


For perfect guidance of the machine during the treatment of 

incisors and canines: 

2010-03-17 35 

Use 

1. Place the machine between arm and body or rest it on your 

shoulder. 

2. Hold the rasping hand with one hand while putting the other 

hand to the incisor or canine. 

3. Switch the machine on and grind off the tooth exerting slight, 

controlled pressure on the ON/OFF button. 

Fig. 24 

306 and 406 Apply the following method for treating the chewing surface until 

you reach the desired result: 

1. Put the rasping head to 306 or 406. 

2. Push the rasping head down. 

To achieve perfect roundness: 

1. Put the rasping head diagonally to the teeth and ground them 

off on both sides. 

2. Make sure not to hurt the dental pulp.

6.6 Activities after use 

After every use 

6.6.1 Cleaning after every use 

WARNING! 

Risk of infection to man and animal in case 

of improper cleaning and disinfection! 

There is a risk of infection caused by 

microorganisms passed on from animal to man and 

animal to animal if the machine is not properly 

cleaned and disinfected after use. 

Therefore: 

– Clean and disinfect the machine after each use. 

– Wear gloves protecting against microorganisms 

while using, cleaning, and disinfecting the 

machine. 

Clean and disinfect the rasp attachment after each use as 

described below: 

� use a soft plastic brush 

� use standard cleaning agents 

� use disinfectants 

� Use clear water to rinse cleaning agents and disinfectants off 

thoroughly 

IMPORTANT! 

Also follow the instructions with regard to contact 

times and concentrations of the cleaning agents 

and disinfectants provided by the manufacturers.

7.1 Safety 


Troubleshooting 

The following chapter contains fault indications as well as possible 

causes of and steps to correct faults. 

Contact the manufacturer (see service address on page 2) in case 

the information provided below is not sufficient to correct the fault 

you are experiencing. 

Personnel � Unless specified otherwise, the troubleshooting steps described 

here can be performed by the operator.

� Some troubleshooting steps may only be performed by specially 

trained experts or the manufacturer. The description of each 

fault will specify the personnel requirements for correcting the 

fault. 

� Work on the electrical system may only be performed by 

trained electricians. 

DANGER! 

Danger of death due to electric current!

Improper troubleshooting 

Actions in the event of a fault Always: 

7.2 Troubleshooting table 

WARNING! 

Risk of injury due to improper 

troubleshooting! 

Improper troubleshooting may lead to serious 

injury to man and animal as well as property 

damage. 

Therefore: 

– Make sure there is enough mounting clearance 

before starting to work. 

– Keep the installation site tidy and clean! 

Components and tools lying loosely about or on 

top of each other may cause accidents. 

– If components have previously been removed, 

make sure they are re-installed correctly before 

re-attaching all fixing elements and tightening 

them to torque. 

1. Switch off the machine immediately in the event of faults that 

pose an immediate danger to man, animal or property. 

2. Find the cause of the fault. 

3. Depending on the kind of the fault, have an authorized expert 

correct the fault or correct the fault yourself. 

IMPORTANT! 

The troubleshooting table below specifies who is 

authorized to correct each individual fault.

If the rasping disk stops at low bearing pressures, increase the 

belt tension of the machine proceeding as follows: 

1. Loosen both M5x16 countersunk screws (1) by one turn using 

a Torx 25 (2) screwdriver. Do not unscrew the screws. 

2. Press the housing edge (1) of the fitting against a straight 

edge (2). The tube must lie flat on the plane. 

3. Pull the tube (1) forward to increase the belt tension. 

4. Retain the tension while tightening both M5x16 countersunk 

screws using the Torx 25 screwdriver.

Fig. 44 

If you change the sealing yourself, you do so at your own risk as 

replacing the sealing ring may damage the rasp attachment. 

Consult the manufacturer if necessary (for the manufacturer's 

address, see page 2). 

1. Use a soft plastic brush to thoroughly clean the rasping head. 

2. Let the rasping head dry. 

3. Put the screwdriver to the outer diameter of the sealing ring. 

4. Use the screwdriver to lift the sealing ring out of its holder. 

5. Apply silicon spray to the new sealing ring and the rasping 

head. 

6. Use both thumbs to press the sealing ring into the holder of 

the rasping head. 

7. Make sure the sealing ring is placed flush in the holder.
