Installation Tips

  • onfirm your handpiece is indeed Version 101 or uses the same nut part #520K38. Using an incorrect nut may lead to improper fit or performance issues.

  • Measure your existing nut (if present) to match the spec: OD ~18.63 mm, length ~13.39 mm.

  • Ensure the internal housing, threads and mating components where the nut installs are clean, undamaged and free of debris.

  • Disconnect the handpiece from power and let it fully stop before disassembly.

  • Carefully remove the front or internal housing to access the nut location.

  • Remove the old nut, clean the threads and seating surfaces of any debris, metal shavings or lubricant residue.

  • Install the new #520K38 nut and torque it to the manufacturer’s recommended specification (if available). Avoid overtightening which could damage plastic threads or distort the nut.

  • Re-assemble the handpiece, run it unloaded (no bit) for a short test to confirm smooth operation, absence of vibration or looseness, then resume normal use.
