Attach Handpiece to Flexible Shaft
1.Before attaching the handpiece, connect the motor to
the speed control and plug into power source.
2. While holding the black colored metal outer sheath tip
facing upward, turn on the control so that the motor is
running at about half speed and then turn it off.
3. While the inner key tip is still rotating, grip the handpiece
and push it onto the sheath tip with one firm motion until it
snaps into place (shown at right).
4. This will align the key tip into the keyway slot (shown
above).
5. To verify this, insert and tighten an accessory into collet
or chuck, turn on control to a low speed and observe that
the accessory rotates smoothly.
Note: Handpiece can run only with 2.35mm (3/32 ″)
shank bur inserted.
Do not operate with lever in open position— this will
cause the handpiece to lock up.

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 and 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.
