EAR PIERCING INSTRUCTIONS-
Replacing the stud Adapter Using the Studex Adapter Clip
Please read these instructions carefully before using the Adapter Clip to remove or install the stud adapter in order to prevent damage to the adapter, the clip or the instrument.

Removing the Stud Adapter
1. Make sure the instrument is uncocked.
2. Place the empty Adapter Clip over the plunger as shown in Figure 5-1.
3. Pull the plunger knob back firmly (Fig. 5-2). The stud adapter will snap out of the plunger shaft automatically.
4. Lift the Adapter Clip off the instrument. The stud adapter will remain in the
Adapter Clip (Fig. 5-3).
HINT: If you are using the Clips to store the adapters, be sure to match the color of the Clip to the color of the collar on the adapter. This will make identification on the proper stud adapter easier for the next piercing operation.

Installing the Stud Adapter
1.Cock the Instrument
2. Snap the proper stud adapter into the Adapter Clip as shown in (Fig.5-4).

3. Place the Adapter Clip (with the stud adapter in it) over the plunger as shown in (Fig.5-5).
4. While holding the plunger knob firmly to keep the plunger from snapping forward, pull the trigger to release the plunger, and gently slide the plunger to the fully forward position (Fig.5-6). (DO NOT simply pull the trigger and ´fire´the plunger, as damage to the adapter, clip or the instrument could result when the plunger snaps forward.)
5. Once the plunger shaft is fully forward, lift off the Adapter Clip (Fig.5-7)
6. Cock the instrument and press the stud adapter firmly to make sure it is fully seated in the shaft (Fig.5-8). The adapter will ´click´ when it is properly seated.

Cleaning the Instrument
1. Before and after each piercing, throughly cleanse the entire area of the clasp retainer (see Fig.6) by wiping with a cotton ball or swab moistened with MediSept Ear Care Solution or alcohol.
