Nail Drill Care Tips

Precautions for nail drill maintenance

Do not

There is no need to use the lubricant on your drill. Usually, nail drills are manufactured with self-lubricating bearings. The extra oil will generate too much heat, which will wear the machine and cause overheating.

Never immerse the nail drill tip in disinfectant. Doing so will damage the internal motor, causing it to break or malfunction.

When your drill is still advancing, don't turn it in the other direction. Before changing the direction, be sure to close it to prevent damage.

Do

Use muslin, microfiber, and a soft brush to remove dust and debris from small gaps in the equipment. When wiping with a damp cloth, make sure that your drill has no plug.

Hold the device carefully and securely, and do not bend the handle. Keep track of the angle the drill’s cord is sitting.

After completion, be sure to remove the drill bit from the drill bit.

Carefully ensure that the drill bit is installed correctly to avoid loosening the drill rod.

Routine electrician check-ups

One of the most important parts of maintaining a nail drill is to be inspected by a professional electrician every year. Although your electric drill looks good on the outside, the electrical parts inside may become loose, noisy, and dirty. Never wait until the problem arises before handing over the nail drill to an electrician for an inspection.

A routine nail drill check-up consists of the handpiece being removed & cleaned on the inside. Dust and filed nail debris accumulate in the machine, which may cause the machine to malfunction and make strange noises. If any parts need to be replaced, you will be notified and a repair quote will be provided.

How to clean the drill

Clean the drill bit after each use. Debris and dust can easily accumulate in the cracks of the drill bit. If it accumulates too much, it may affect performance. The best way to clean the drill bit is to use a fine cloth or a small soft bristle brush. You can also use canned air to blow away these small particles after each use. Remember to unplug the equipment before cleaning to prevent damage.

Maintaining nail drill bits

Don't forget to maintain your drill! After each use, it is recommended to use a fine cloth or brush to dust off or clean it up. Disinfection procedures must be followed to prevent the spread of bacteria from one customer to another. For this, the drill bit must be scrubbed with soapy water or soaked in acetone. Afterward, use a metal disinfectant, making sure to follow the instructions provided by the nail drill bit manufacturer. Air-dry the drill thoroughly before storing it in a covered, dry place.
