<h2 style="text-align:justify">Keeping an NSK FX65m in Good Working Condition 
&nbsp;</h2>

Regular maintenance can help keep the NSK FX65m operating smoothly and reduce the risk of unexpected problems. Proper cleaning, lubrication, careful handling, and routine inspection are important for maintaining a precision handpiece. 
&nbsp;

For the FX65m, focus on three basics: clean it properly, lubricate it correctly, and notice changes early.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">1. Clean Promptly 
&nbsp;</h2>

After clinical use, follow the current NSK-approved cleaning and reprocessing procedure. Remove contamination promptly rather than allowing it to dry on the handpiece.&nbsp;Avoid unapproved cleaning chemicals or improvised methods that could damage the instrument.&nbsp;Regular cleaning helps prevent contamination from affecting moving and retention components.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">2. Lubrication Should Be Consistent 
&nbsp;</h2>

Follow NSK&#39;s recommended lubrication procedure and use the appropriate lubricant.&nbsp;Consistent lubrication helps reduce unnecessary friction and supports smooth operation of internal components. However, applying extra lubricant should not be used as a solution for unusual noise, vibration, or rough rotation.&nbsp;If these symptoms continue after proper maintenance, the FX65m may require professional inspection. 
 
The maintenance principles in <a href="https://repair.dental/repairguru/handpieces/5-tips-to-extend-the-life-of-dental-electric-handpiece">5 Tips to Extend the Life of Dental Electric Handpiece</a> can also help clinics maintain consistent care practices for electric handpieces. 
&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">3. Check the Retention Mechanism 
&nbsp;</h2>

Before clinical use, make sure the chuck or attachment mechanism operates normally. 
&nbsp;

Watch for: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Difficulty inserting or releasing the attachment
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Increased stiffness
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Unusual looseness
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Changes in retention
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Irregular chuck operation 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

Do not force the mechanism if it suddenly feels different. Contamination, wear, or mechanical damage may require professional attention.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">4. Inspect After Sterilization 
&nbsp;</h2>

After cleaning, reprocessing, and sterilization, inspect the FX65m before returning it to service. 
&nbsp;

Check for: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Visible contamination
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Physical damage
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Unusual movement
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Chuck problems
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Changes in its normal operating condition 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

Always follow the current NSK instructions for the applicable cleaning, reprocessing, and sterilization procedure. 
&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">5. Handle It Carefully 
&nbsp;</h2>

Avoid dropping the FX65m or allowing it to strike hard surfaces. An impact can affect internal components even when there is little visible external damage.&nbsp;After an accidental drop, pay attention to new vibration, unusual noise, rough rotation, heat, or retention problems.&nbsp;If a new symptom appears after an impact, professional inspection is recommended. 
&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">6. Monitor Sound, Vibration and Rotation 
&nbsp;</h2>

Small changes in performance can provide an early warning that the handpiece needs attention. 
&nbsp;

Listen for: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Increased operating noise
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Rough or unfamiliar sounds
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	New vibration
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Changes in rotational smoothness
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Increased resistance 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

First check the bur, attachment, and maintenance condition. If the problem continues with a suitable setup, the handpiece should be professionally evaluated. 
&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">7. Keep a Maintenance Record 
&nbsp;</h2>

For busy dental practices, a simple maintenance record can make recurring problems easier to identify. 
&nbsp;

Record: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Date of maintenance
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Lubrication
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Repairs performed
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Recurring symptoms
	</li>
	<li style="text-align:justify">
	Sterilization concerns 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

This can help your team recognize when a handpiece may require professional service instead of routine maintenance alone.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">When Routine Maintenance Is No Longer Enough 
&nbsp;</h2>

Maintenance can help prevent many problems, but it cannot correct worn or damaged internal components.&nbsp;If the FX65m continues to show noise, vibration, excessive heat, rough rotation, or retention problems despite correct maintenance, professional inspection is recommended.&nbsp;A qualified technician can determine whether the problem involves the chuck, bearings, drive components, or another internal area.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">When to Call a Repair Technician 
&nbsp;</h2>

If your FX65m is no longer operating normally, don&#39;t wait for complete failure. Early inspection can help identify developing problems and determine whether repair is appropriate.
