Frequently asked questions to learn before contacting support.

My PA120/AM120 tweezers are not heating up, what should I do?

The AM120 & PA120 tweezers require each of the cartridges to be properly aligned and tightened. A small flat head screw locks in each cartridge (located on the body of the tweezer handpiece). If this is not properly tightened, the station will view it as an open circuit and subsequently provide no heat.
