Safety
To ensure optimal performance and client comfort, follow these essential safety practices when working with e-file bits:

1. Use Proper Speed & Pressure
   Each bit type is designed for a specific speed range. Using an incorrect RPM may cause excess heat or damage.
   Maintain a light, controlled touch—excessive pressure can lead to discomfort or injury.
2. Prevent Overheating
   Always keep the bit in motion during use. Prolonged contact in one area may generate heat, resulting in a burning sensation for the client.
3. Select the Right Bit for the Service
   Using a coarse bit on a natural nail may thin or damage the nail plate.
   Always choose finer grit bits for gentle prep work or natural nail services.
4. Sanitize & Disinfect Thoroughly
   All bits must be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized between uses to prevent cross-contamination.
   Never reuse bits between clients without proper sterilization.
5. Handle with Care
   Dropping or mishandling bits can compromise their integrity.
   Store them in a clean, dry holder to protect them from damage and contamination.
   Avoid aggressive filing near the cuticle area.
6. Monitor for Wear and Tear
   Bits should be replaced if they become dull, rusted, or damaged. A worn bit can increase friction and reduce service quality.
7. Minimize Dust Exposure
   Wear a protective mask and use a dust collector when filing, particularly when working with acrylics or gels, to reduce airborne particles.
8. Prioritize Client Comfort
   Check in with clients regularly. If they experience heat or sensitivity, adjust your technique immediately.

Maintenance
Maintaining your bits ensures longer life and consistent, professional-grade performance:

1. Remove Dust & Debris
   After each use, clean bits using a nylon brush or bit cleaner to eliminate surface residue.
2. Wash Gently
   Rinse under warm running water using a soft brush and mild soap.
   Avoid prolonged soaking of metal bits to prevent corrosion.
3. Disinfect Effectively
   Soak in an EPA-registered disinfectant per the manufacturer's recommended time.
   Limit soaking time for diamond or carbide bits to preserve integrity.
4. Dry Completely
   Air dry on a lint-free towel or use compressed air to eliminate moisture, especially from crevices.
5. Store Properly
   Keep bits in a designated, dry, and sanitized holder.
   Avoid storing in humid or unclean environments.
6. Replace as Needed
   Inspect regularly for signs of dullness, damage, or rust.
   Replace any bit that no longer performs safely and efficiently.
