Safety Goggles (or better yet a full face shield), Dust Mask, and Hearing Protection must be worn by everyone in the work area. Operator should wear heavy Gloves.

If the scaler has an adjustable front nose collar, adjust it back for looser needles on rough surfaces, and forward for tighter needles on fine surfaces.
Use as little pressure as possible, allowing the unit to work at its own pace.
