MICROAIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
- INSTRUMENT SETUP -
CAUTION: Disconnect battery from handpiece before loading or unloading the saw
blade.
CAUTION: Battery pack should not be left attached to the handpiece when not in use.
This could result in accelerated battery drain.
To insert the REF ZR-032M saw blade into the sternum saw handpiece:
1. Make sure the handpiece trigger is set to the “OFF” position and the safety is
“ON” by turning the trigger to one side.
2. If installed, remove the sternum guard from the handpiece by depressing the
release button located on the underside of the sternum guard collet.
3. Twist the blade locking collet into the open position by rotating in the
direction of the arrows.
4. While holding the blade locking collet in the open position, insert a MicroAire
REF ZR-032M saw blade until it is fully seated. The blade may be inserted in
the inferior or superior position.
5. Release the blade locking collet; it should automatically spring back into the
lock position.
To install the REF 7800-002 Sternum Guard on the sternum saw:
1. Make sure the handpiece trigger is set to the “OFF” position and the safety is
“ON” by turning the trigger to one side.
2. Make sure that the MicroAire REF ZR-032M sternum saw blade is securely
installed.
3. Push the sternum guard into the blade/guard collet, over the installed saw
blade. The sternum guard may be inserted easier by depressing the sternum
guard lock button as the sternum guard is installed on the handpiece. Make
sure that the sternum guard is aligned with the saw blade teeth facing away
from the sternum guard. The sternum guard must be completely locked into
place prior to use. Use the alignment arrows to make sure the sternum guard
is properly aligned with the handpiece.
CAUTION: Make sure the tip of the sternum saw blade is inside the foot of the
sternum guard and does not strike any part of the sternum guard.
Improper alignment of the sternum guard with the saw blade can cause
damage to the sternum saw or saw blade.
Test run the assembled handpiece for a few seconds to make sure that the blade and
sternum guard are properly aligned and secure.
1. Move the safety lock to the “OFF” position by turning the trigger back into
the vertical position.
2. Run the handpiece by fully depressing the trigger.
