General Accessory Recommendations
A wide assortment of accessories are available from Foredom ® and other
manufacturers. The Series H Motor, combined with a variety of accessories,
makes a very versatile power tool for grinding, sanding, brushing, cutting, buffing,
carving and polishing virtually any material. When selecting an accessory for use
with your Series H machine:
Always use accessories with a manufacturer’s minimum speed
rating of 20,000 RPM or higher. Using accessories with a lower
rating could result in serious injury to the user or others in the
work area.
Make certain that the shanks of accessories are securely inserted
into the handpiece collet or chuck. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or cause accessory failure.
The Foredom Accessory Catalog contains information on hundreds of
accessories rated at 20,000 RPM or higher. Also visit www.foredom.com to view
the complete selection of rotary accessories
Operation
Read all of the safety instructions in this
manual before operating any Foredom
Power Tool. Proper eye and face protection
must be worn to protect you from injuries
caused by flying debris, chips or sparks
which might result from the work being done.
Your Foredom motor may be operated in a vertical
or horizontal position, but it should not be
enclosed or confined so as to restrict air circulation. If the
motor is hung up above a work bench, be sure to fasten
the wall bracket securely to a wall or post.
Do Not Bend Shaft at Tight Angle
Shafts and sheaths last longer when they are used without
sharp bends. If used at angles or loops, wear will occur at the
points of greatest friction and excess heat will develop. There
is no way to avoid ultimate wear and under normal
conditions a flexible shaft machine may require several
replacement shafts and sheaths during its lifetime. (Follow
instructions in Maintenance Section.)
Never operate a power tool during a perceptible
power decrease.
Turn off tool and unplug until full power is restored.
