Foredom H.56D - Manual

Instructions for Handpieces H.55A, H.56A, H.55D, and H.56D
Shaft and Sheath Adjustment
It is important to check the sheath and shaft tip and properly adjust
them before you attach this handpiece to your Foredom flexible shaft
tool. The tip of the flexible shaft should extend 3/4 ″ beyond the end
of the sheath and no more than 7/8 ″ or less than 5/8″ (see Figure 1).
On Foredom machines with standard shaft and 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
assembly are fully extended and straight while hanging or on a flat
surface. When the correct adjustment is made, tighten the set screw in
the motor connector.

individual operator. This warranty only covers the original purchaser

Attaching the Handpiece to Flexible Shaft
Attach the handpiece by pushing it on the grooved QD (quick
disconnect) fitting on the sheath. Be sure that the keyed tip of the
flexible shaft is properly lined up with the slot in the handpiece shaft
connector by looking into the rear of the handpiece before pushing
it on. If it is not in line, turn the handpiece to the correct position.
Operation and Use
Foredom angle handpieces contain small right angle gears in their
heads. The H.55A and H.55D also have gears in the front portion of
the handpiece body. the teeth on these gears can be stripped if
excessive pressure is applied to the accessory. let the speed of the
accessory, not pressure do the work. Do not use grinding stones or
discs over 3/4 ″ in diameter. These handpieces are intended for
doing intricate, light duty work in hard to reach spots. To reduce
risk of spring breakage or overheating, avoid using a sharp bend in
the duplex spring connection in the H.55D and H.56D handpieces.
Attaching Latch-type Accessories
Push the latch in the head of the handpiece to the right
to open and insert accessory. Push latch to the left to
lock the accessory. (Right and left are defined as you
face the back of the handpiece head.)
