Installation Tips
-
Confirm the current grip’s dimensions match (ID ~11 mm, OD ~17 mm, length ~19 mm) to ensure the new part fits correctly.
-
Ensure the underlying front housing or nose section is clean and undamaged — a damaged housing may inhibit proper seating of the grip.
-
Disconnect the handpiece and ensure it’s powered off before working.
-
Remove the existing rubber grip carefully (it may be a snug fit).
-
Clean the underlying surface of dust or residue to ensure the new grip seats flush.
-
Install the new grip, aligning it properly, then re-assemble the tool as needed.
-
After installation, test the handpiece briefly (no bit or light load) to ensure comfortable operation and no vibration introduced by the grip change.
