Assembly Instructions
Always make sure your power tool is unplugged during assembly!
After identifying all the components of your power tool, it should be assembled in the
following manner:
Assembly and Adjustment of Flexible Shaft, Sheath, and Handpiece
Proper assembly and adjustment of the flexible shaft and sheath
are critical for the correct operation of your Foredom power tool.
The exposed tip (handpiece end) of the flexible shaft (with hand
piece removed) must extend 3/4
″ beyond the sheath.
Important Note: The shaft and sheath should be checked
and adjusted (if necessary) even if you received them assembled and attached to the motor!
Please follow the directions below to assemble
and adjust the shaft and sheath.
To check the shaft and sheath you must first remove
the handpiece.
1.The handpiece is easy to remove from the flexible shaft.To remove, simply pull the handpiece off the
shaft and sheath with a firm grip. To re-attach, be sure that the keyed tip of the flexible shaft is proper-
ly lined up with the slot in the back end of
the handpiece by looking into the rear of the
handpiece before pushing it on. If it is not in
line, turn the shaft tip or the handpiece to the
correct position (see illustration below).
2. Place the entire unit on a flat surface with the shaft and sheath
extended straight. Loosen the set screw on the motor connector.
Adjust the exposed tip (handpiece end) of the flexible shaft so
that it extends 3/4
″ beyond the sheath, as shown in illustrations
above. This is done by moving the sheath in or out of the
motor connector.
3. When the correct adjustment is made, re-tighten the set screw in
the motor connector and re-attach handpiece onto the flexible shaft.
