Foredom K.500 User Manual
Massager, Foredom, Set-up, assembly and maintenance manual
Replacement of Handpiece Pads:
When installing or replacing the Handpiece
Pad Holder be sure that the Adjustment
Sleeve is tight. The plunger shaft should
extend at least 1/16
″ beyond the adjustment
sleeve when the Plunger Shaft is in its
uppermost (withdrawn) position.
The rubber holder has a screw and locking
nut for attaching it to the plunger shaft.
Screw the Pad Holder into the plunger shaft
and tighten the lock nut with a 3/8
″ wrench.
Replacement pads can be held in the holder
with double faced pressure sensitive tape.
Replacement of Motor Brushes:
Be sure to unplug motor before replacing
motor brushes. The motor brushes should
be replaced when they have worn down to
1/4
″. To remove the brushes, unscrew the
brush caps on either side of motor. Be sure
to replace both motor brushes even if one of
them seems less worn than the other.
Replacement of Shafts and Sheaths:
Shafts and sheaths will last the longest when
they are used as straight as possible and
when the shaft is cleaned and lubricated
regularly. There is no way to avoid ultimate
wear. A Massager may require several
replacement shafts and sheaths during its
lifetime. Always keep a spare shaft on hand.
Repair Service
Other service or repairs should be done by
a competent repair person or you can return
your Foredom equipment to the factory.
If you wish, send your Massager directly
to the factory marked "Attention: Repair
Department". Include a brief note
describing the problem.
