Never use a damaged, bent, vibrating,
or out of balance accessory.

while using this handpiece.
Before attaching this handpiece please
read these instructions.
See your power tool owner’s manual for
complete instructions on use and maintenance. Adjust the Shaft and Sheath Note: This illustration does not apply to slip joint connections.
It is important to check the sheath and shaft
tip and properly adjust them before attach-
ing this handpiece to your Foredom flex
shaft tool. The tip of the flexible shaft should
extend 3/4 ″ beyond the end of the sheath. This adjustment is
made by loosening the set screw in the motor connector and
moving the sheath in or out while the motor and shaft/sheath
are hanging fully extended or laying on a flat surface. When the
shaft is adjusted correctly, tighten the set screw in the
motor connector.
Always make sure your power tool is unplugged during any maintenance procedure.
Attach Handpiece to Flexible Shaft
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, look into the back end of the
handpiece for the keyway. Be sure that the key tip
of the flexible shaft is properly lined up with the keyway slot in the back end of the handpiece and push it on.
If it is not in line, turn the shaft tip or the handpiece to the correct position. H.44TSJ, H.28SJ and H.8SJ have a
‘slip joint’ connection for use with European style machines.
Maintenance and Lubrication
Except for the duplex connection on the H.8D Handpiece, these handpieces do not require any lubrication. Putting
oil or grease into the front or back will damage its prelubricated ball bearings. Periodically remove the chuck nut and
collet and clean the collet holder seat and threads of dust or debris with a bristle brush or air gun.
Lubrication of H.8D Duplex Connection — Apply 2 drops of oil (p/n MS10005) in the oil hole in the rear of the
duplex connection after approximately every 20 hours of use.
