Foredom H.35SJ - Manual

Adjust the Shaft and Sheath
It is important to check the sheath and shaft tip and properly
adjust them before attaching this handpiece to your Foredom
flexible 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 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.
Always make sure your power tool is unplugged
during any maintenance procedure.
Attach Handpiece to Flexible Shaft
Before attaching the handpiece, connect the motor to the
speed control and plug into power source.
To Attach Handpiece: 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. While the inner key tip is still rotat-
ing, grip the handpiece and push it onto the
sheath tip with one firm motion until it snaps
into place (shown at right). This procedure will
align the key tip into the keyway slot (shown
above). 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. Finally retighten locking
screw to secure handpiece on sheath.

Handpiece Locking
Screw on H.25,
H.35 & H.35SJ
The locking screw on the
bottom of your handpiece
prevents unintended release from the shaft and sheath and
keeps the handpiece from rotating on the sheath. Some
users who make frequent handpiece changes, prefer to use
this handpiece with locking screw removed since it is easi-
er to switch out handpieces.
To change an accessory
insert the pin provided into
the pilot hole and through
the spindle hole (turn spin-
dle to align holes).
Apply wrench and loosen
chuck nut slightly by turning
counterclockwise. Insert shank of accessory into collet.
Tighten chuck nut with wrench, keeping pin in pilot hole.
Test for a secure hold by pulling on accessory. Remove
pin.
Never screw the chuck nut back on too tightly.
If you tighten an empty collet or insert an
accessory which is too small or too large
you may damage the collet.
Changing Collets
Foredom offers additional collets for holding burs and
other accessories with different shank sizes.
To Change a Collet insert pin provided into the pilot hole
and through the spindle hole (turn spindle to align holes).
Apply wrench and unscrew chuck nut by turning
counterclockwise.
Remove chuck nut to
expose collet and pull collet
out of handpiece shaft. Slip
new collet in place and
screw on chuck nut with
pin and wrench.
Maintenance and Lubrication
Handpieces: no lubrication is required. Putting oil or grease
into the front or back of these handpieces will damage their
pre-lubricated ball bearings. The collet seat and threads of
the handpiece should be kept free of dirt, chips, dust
or debris.
Flex Shafts: Follow the instructions for cleaning and lubrica-
tion that came with your flexible shaft machine or view the
online maintenance videos at www.foredom.net
To Change an Accessory
Be sure the shank size of the accessory is paired with the
same size collet. Inserting an accessory which is too small or
too large may damage the collet.
Handpiece Accessories and Spare Parts
Pins and wrenches that are lost or damaged can be
ordered from your dealer or the factory.
