NEVER operate it without wearing eye pro­tec­tion. • ALWAYS wear proper eye and face protection. • ONLY use accessories rated for speeds of 50,000 rpm or higher when operating this micromotor. • ALWAYS observe the man­u­fac­tur­er's maximum speed rat­ing when us­ing any accessory. • NEVER use or continue to use any accessory which appears to be damaged, loose, vibrating, bent, or out of balance. Inspect each accessory for cracks or flaws before use. • ALWAYS insert the shank or arbor of an accessory or mandrel into the collet or chuck of the handpiece as far as possible in order to provide proper support and close the collet or chuck se­curely. • DO NOT use accessories with shanks that are less than 1″ long. • NEVER use excessive side pressures which may tend to bend or break the shank or arbor of an ac­ces­so­ry. Let the speed of the accessory do the work. • DO NOT stall the motor by jamming or using excessive pressure on the mounted point, buff, wheel or ac­ces­so­ry. This can result in damage to the motor. • WEAR a dust protector to prevent the inhalation of harmful dust or debris from grinding, carving or other operations per­formed with this power tool. • NEVER operate with a damaged power cord. • USE a dust collector or filter hood to pull saw- dust, grinding dust, or other debris away from the work area and the micromotor intake vents. • NEVER wear open shoes or sandals. Use foot- wear that is tough enough to protect your feet from falling tools. • ALWAYS keep both hands and fingers away from the cutting edge. • NEVER cut or exert pressure, toward your hand or any other part of your body. • DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry. Loose clothing or jewelry can be come entangled in the tool. Do not wear items such as neckties, necklaces, or bracelets when operating power tools. Secure or tie back long hair. • NEVER turn on or start the Handpiece while collet is in open (unlocked) position. This can damage the hand- piece. Always operate and store it with a bur or other accessory in the chuck and with the chuck in the closed position. • DO NOT operate the handpiece in the presence of any flammable liquid or gas. • Use proper grounding procedures. This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug that looks like sketch A below. An adapter (sketches B and C) can be used for connecting plugs as shown in sketch A to 2-prong recepta- cles. The green colored rigid ear, lug, etc., extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Some jurisdictions, including Canada, prohibit the use of 3 to 2 prong adapters. Where prohibited, they should not be used. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Always disconnect the power cord before servicing the tool. Never use in an area where flammable vapors are present. Store your Foredom power tools in a DRY, clean, dust-free area, and out of the reach of children. m Unlock Error codes Error Code Status Cause E1, E5 Circuit Protection - Circuit of control is malfunctioning. - Handpiece or foot control cords are unplugged, defective or broken.

FWD/ REV Mode Selector Handpiece Connection Plug Handpiece Holder Digital speed display x1000rpm Speed Dial Run Selector Hand or Foot Mode Selector Control Box Front Assembly Instructions Make sure the power switch on the back of the control box is turned off. Check to see that the voltage selector switch on the back of the control box is set to the voltage to be used 110 or 220 volt. Next: 1. Connect the power cord into the back of the Control Box and into a power outlet. 2. To use the Foot Contol, plug the Foot Control cord into the port on the back of the control box. Align the pins carefully and tighten the locking ring. 2. Plug the Handpiece cord into the port on the front of the control box. Align the pins carefully and tight- en the locking ring. 3. Set the Speed Dial to '0'. 4. Make sure the handpiece collet is in the locked position with a bur or accessory in it and that the collet and accessory can spin freely. There are 2 dots on the metal ring – one will line up with the Unlock symbol and the other dot will line up with the Lock symbol when you twist the front of the handpiece. Operating the handpiece with the collet in the open or Unlock position or with no bur or bit in it can cause se­vere­ damage to the motor Operating Instructions 1. Be sure the On/Off Power Switch lights up when you are ready to work. The switch must be in the ON position for the handpiece to run in any setting. Always turn the Dial to '0' and On/Off Switch to the Off position when not in use. 2. Hand/Foot Mode: With the Speed Dial at '0', select either Hand or Foot Mode for speed control. • When the Hand indicator lights up, the handpiece will run at the speed set by the Speed Dial. • Press the Run Selector to activate the handpiece in Hand Mode. It will also light up in Foot Mode when you press the Foot Control. • When the Foot Mode indicator lights up, the handpiece will only operate when the Foot Control is pressed. You can set a maximum speed with the Speed Dial, but range of speed will be controlled by the Foot Control. 3. Forward/Reverse Mode: With the Speed Dial at '0', select the handpiece rotation direction by press- ing the FWD/REV Mode Indicator: FWD = Forward or REV = Reverse. • Speed Range: 1000 – 50,000 RPMs continued Control Box Back Foot Control Plug Power Cord T-Slot Plugs Voltage Selector Switch 110 or 220 volt On/Off Power Switch Fuse Compartment Dot on metal ring lines up with Lock Symbol for closed collet Bur or Accessory is in the collet For maximum speed with a foot pedal, turn the dial speed control to the 'MAX' setting. CAUTION Never run the handpiece when the collet is open or in the intermediate position. The spindle is locked and will not turn. This will damage the motor. Fuse Protection 1. To change a fuse Unplug the power cord from the AC receptacle in the back of the control box to expose the Fuse Compartment. 2. Use the blade of a small screwdriver in the slot of the fuse holder and gently pry outward. The active fuse is in the back of the holder and a spare fuse is in the front compartment. If the glass case of the active fuse is darkened, the fuse is blown. From the underside of the drawer, push out the blown fuse using a small screwdriver. Be sure the micromotor is not being overloaded, the line voltage is not low, and then replace the blown fuse with the spare fuse. It is a good idea to always keep a spare fuse in the front compart- ment to avoid lost time if there is a future blown fuse. To avoid overloading the micromotor always use the same type and ampere rating as the original: GDB 5 Amp, 250V, 5mm x 20mm. If, after replacement, the fuse blows again, the micromotor has a fault. The unit should be analyzed by a qualified technician, or returned to the factory for service. See Repair Services. Back of the control box 2- Pry with screwdriver Spare In use Fuse Fuse 1- Remove Power Cord Fuse Compartment Unlock Lock Open Closed Maintenance The H.MH-160 has permanently lubricated ball bearings that do not require lubrication. Putting even a small amount of oil into the handpiece can damage it. Cleaning the Handpiece Use the Handpiece in as clean and dust free an environment as possible. If the Micromotor Handpiece is used for wood- carving, it should be cleaned after every use. A cloth with a small amount of alcohol solution can be used to clean the outside of the hand- piece if necessary. Do not use any other cleaning fluids or immerse handpiece in any liquid. The H.MH-160 Handpiece is not autoclaveable. Cleaning the Bore in the Spindle If you are working in dusty conditions or generating a lot of dust particles you may need to remove the collet for cleaning. With front of Handpiece in ‘Unlock’ use a Q-tip to clean out the bore in the spindle. The metal nose cone needs to be tight to hold the front housing in place, to insure that the the full stroke of the collet operat- ing mechanism works properly.
