Foredom 30SJ - 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 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 toremove
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.30SJ handpieces have a ‘slip joint’ connection for use with European style machines.
