Removing Gross Excess
Using vertisquare, place teeth against foam facing and make
a superficial cut on the base to establish a flat surface
roughly parallel to the plane of occlusion. Trim away excess
around the periphery of the model to a point no closer than
12" (12-13mm) from the buccal surfaces of the teeth (Fig. 8).

Procedure Summary
Maintenance
Model Trimmer:
Before performing any maintenance function, unplug
the unit.
Anytime the door is opened, wipe off all debris from the door
gasket and opposing surface. A thin coat of petroleum jelly
applied to the gasket will improve sealing ability and
prevent sticking.
With the models articulated and inverted, trim the heel of the
lower model flush with the heel of the upper model.
With the models in occlusion, trim the base of the lower
model until the vertisquare pointer reaches the 70mm mark
on the degree plate.
With the degree plate on the 55 setting, trim the right and
left buccal segments of the lower model to the depth of the
buccal vestibule.
The large clean out plug located on the side of the model
trimmer base is easily removed for periodic cleaning inside
the base.

Splash Shield
The splash shield protects the user from debris and water
spray. Made of scratch resistant Lexan, the shield will
withstand years of constant use. Its pivot design allows the
operator to swing the shield to the left when not needed.
Or, by tightening the wing nut, the shield may be secured
in various positions. The splash shield fits any Whip Mix
model trimmer.
Installation
1. Remove cap plug from pre-drilled hole on back of
trimmer. Position mounting bracket and attach to
the model trimmer using the bolt and lock washer.
2. Sandwich the shield between the two washers and
place on mounting stud on the bracket. Tighten wing nut
over washers and shield.
Sediment Tray
Featuring a built-in model shelf, the sediment tray provides
convenient storage for models not being trimmed. Large
restraint feet provide excellent stability.
