All warranty repairs must be done at the factory at the above address. We will not
pay any shipping or transportation charges. The #76 Duplex Spring is not covered
by this warranty since it is especially sensitive to the pressure and stress variables
of the individual operator.This warranty only covers the original purchaser of the
product. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts
or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above
limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Number 10: Lubrication should not be required for the first 2-3 months of contin-
uous use. Then, approximately every two weeks, remove the sheath connector
(it has a standard right hand thread) to expose the slotted shaft connector and
back of handpiece spindle. Clean off any dirt or old lubricant. Apply 1 or 2 drops
only of Foredom oil to the spindle where it attaches to the slotted shaft. Now
replace sheath connector.
Number 10D* Handpiece with Duplex Spring Connection: Approximately
every 20 hours of operation apply 1 or 2 drops of Foredom oil into the hole in
the duplex spring collar next to the sheath connector. This will provide sufficient
lubrication for both the duplex spring connection and the handpiece spindle.
Numbers 15 and 15D*: Before disassembling, clean off any dirt to prevent
foreign matter from falling inside the handpiece. Remove the threaded
nosepiece assembly carefully with wrench supplied by turning counterclockwise
(right-hand thread). Put two drops of Foredom oil into the bottom of the threaded
hole of the housing and one drop into the nosepiece assembly. Replace the
nosepiece assembly, hold the handpiece upright and run it slowly to distribute
the oil. Lubricate every 100 hours of use.
Handpieces 52, 52D, 53: These handpieces do not require any
lubrication. Putting oil or grease into the front or back of these handpieces will
damage their prelubricated ball bearings.
*Note: All handpieces marked with asterisk have duplex spring connections
(flexible springs in middle). These connections must be lubricated once every 20
hours of operation. Apply about two drops of oil into the hole on the rear of the
connection collar. This should be done with Foredom Hypodermic type oiler
(Part No. 10005).
Other Service and Repair
All other service and repairs should only be done by a professional repair person
or shop. Your dealer can help you select one or can arrange to have your
Foredom equipment returned to the Bethel, CT factory. (See Repair Service
