- Secure Connection: Ensure the Cold Hammer is securely plugged into its designated port on the main machine.
- Machine Power/Function: Verify the main machine is powered on and the cold function is activated.
- Temperature Setting: Check the temperature setting on the main unit. Ensure it’s set to a sufficiently low temperature and allow a few minutes for it to reach full coldness.
- Clear Vents: Ensure the cooling fan and vents on the handpiece or the main unit are not obstructed by anything. Blocked vents can drastically reduce cooling.
Intermittent Coldness?
- Overheating Protection: This might indicate an overheating protection kicking in. Check vents and allow cooling time.
- Stable Power: Ensure stable power supply to the main unit.
Not Turning On At All?
- Main Machine Power: Confirm the main machine is powered on. If other functions are also not working, check the main unit’s power cord and wall outlet.
- Handpiece Connection: Check the Cold Hammer’s connection to its specific port on the machine.
