2Blade Installation

Function Switch: The function switch determines whether the saw is in highspeed, standard speed, or standby mode. Blade Tool: The blade tool is used to loosen and tighten the blade retention screw when installing and removing the saw blade. Blade: Three blade types exist and are designed to cut on different material. Stainless steel blades are recommended for use only when cutting plaster casts. Tritanium & Ion Nitrided blades are recommended for Synthetic material. Brush Cap: The brush cap is a special screw that secures the motor brush and spring inside the cast cutter. Refer to the IFU for detailed instructions on how to replace and install a new motor brush and spring.

_________ : Vacuum Line Cap: When using the CastVac™ the line cap is removed allowing the vacuum hose to be inserted into the cast cutter.

1. Loosen the blade retention screw using the blade tool to turn the screw counterclockwise.

2. Slide the blade over the screw and the top two blade guide posts.

3. Pull down the blade behind the screw and over the bottom two blade guide posts.

4. Opposite of Step 1, use the blade tool to tighten the blade retention screw in a clockwise fashion against the blade.

Blade Installation/Removal Safety Tips: 1. Prior to loading the blade, ensure the power source is disconnected and the function switch is set to “standby” mode. Repeat this process when removing the blade. 2. Before operating, ALWAYS verify the blade is securely loaded and the retention screw is tight.3. The blade retention screw is “captive” and cannot be fully removed. Do not attempt to forcefully remove the screw beyond the point at which it is designed to turn when removing the blade.

1. Hold the Cast Cutter as depicted and align the blade in a vertical orientation, perpendicular to the cast.

2. Gently push the blade through the cast material. DO NOT use a continuous, linear motion as it may result in patient harm. Proper technique includes an up and down motion in the direction of the cut.

NOTE: The user should feel resistance as the blade penetrates the cast material. When the blade has fully penetrated the cast material the resistance will cease, and the user should withdraw the blade and continue onward with the cut.

Operating the Handpiece

Demonstrate the following:3 Withdraw and advance the blade in the direction of the cut.
