Automatic nozzle and pump cleaning plus 4 memory slots make this unit a reliable tool for high-throughput studios and podiatry practices.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Does the handpiece need to break in?
No. The 5040-SX2 has a brushless, maintenance-free motor – no break-in time is required, the unit is ready to use immediately.
Which liquid may be used in the tank?
Exclusively distilled water or a mixture with max. 30 % alcohol/ethanol. Tap water, tea tree oil or other additives damage the micro-pump and nozzle and lead to loss of warranty.
Why does the unit release water on its own?
This is the automatic nozzle cleaning (pump boost) – it starts automatically after a short break without spray and after longer inactivity. This is normal and not a fault.
What does the OVERLOAD indicator mean?
The handpiece is blocked or overloaded – after approx. 5 seconds the motor and pump switch off automatically. Fix the cause (e.g. check the bit) and restart the unit.
How do I use the memory slots?
A long press saves the current speed and spray intensity to one of the 4 memory slots, a short press recalls the setting – handy for recurring treatment steps.
Which bits fit the 5040-SX2?
Grinding bits in dental size ø 2.332–2.350 mm – observe the product-specific head-Ø speed limits from the operating manual. For disinfecting the bits, the Promed UC-50 ultrasonic cleaner (art. 330210) is recommended.
What sets the 5040-SX2 apart from the 4030-SX2 and the 4040?
The 4030-SX2 (art. 204036) and the 4040 (art. 204040) work in dry technology with dust extraction. The 5040-SX2 is the wet-technology variant with spray function and a 410 ml water tank – ideal if you want to cool and work with a fine spray mist instead of extraction.
What warranty does Promed offer on the 5040-SX2?
Promed grants a manufacturer's warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase. All Promed devices are developed to strict quality standards and tested before delivery. Damage caused by tap water, tea tree oil or impermissible additives in the tank is not covered by the warranty.
