Instructions for Removal of Finger Rings Using EHM (Extremely Hard Metal) Ring Cutter

Removal of Finger Rings Using EHM (Extremely Hard Metal) Ring Cutter

  1. Wear protective eyewear and prevent particles from entering the nose and mouth with a mask.
  2. Connect any power screwdriver to the Hex Drive.
  3. Place the finger guard under the ring to protect the patient's finger.
  4. Position the ring band in the notch on the finger guard.
  5. Use the supplied plastic bottle to dispense water on the rotating diamond disc in order to lubricate it.  Keep the disc damp by constantly dripping water onto it.
  6. To commence cutting, power the cutting blade so that it is rotating before it makes contact with the ring.
  7. To make contact between the rotating blade and the ring, use ONLY GENTLE PRESSURE, and let the blade do the cutting.  You will know that you are continuing to use "gentle pressure"  if the blade is always rotating speedily while it is in contact with the ring.  Let the resulting inertia of motion cut the ring.  DO NOT THINK OF THE RING CUTTER AS A PLIER TO BE SQUEEZED.
  8. Make a second cut on the opposite side of the ring.
  9. Lift the ring off the patient's finger.
  10. Expect the process to take approximately 5 minutes.
  11. Use the Extremely Hard Metal Ring Cutter for Hard Titanium, Cobalt, Bio-Blu©, Platinum and Steel Finger Rings.  Do not use it for Gold, Silver, Brass and normal Titanium rings for two reasons: 1) our Electric Ring Cutter( 48.0610) is much faster and 2) the diamond disc will fill with soft metal and will cease to cut Extremely Hard metal rings.
