Tip Preparation (Factory Guidance)

1. Harden: Hold by the threaded portion with tweezers (do not damage threads). Heat the working end to ~820 °C (light cherry red). Quench tip-first in oil.
2. Clean: Remove oil and brighten with fine abrasive; avoid touching the point.
3. Temper: Gently warm from back toward the point to ~130 °C (do not change color), then quench in oil. If edge life is poor, repeat from Step 1.

Warranty & Use Notes

• One-year factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship (void if disassembled or misused).
• Duplex springs (not included here) increase flexibility but carry no warranty and can be damaged if over-bent; never exceed ~45° when using duplex-equipped models.
• Otto Frei offers in-house repair service for Badeco hammer handpieces.
