Maintenance and Lubrication

The H.50 and H.50C Handpiece requires little maintenance to keep

it running at peak performance. Keep it dry, free of debris and

lubricated for a long trouble-free life.

After every 200 hours of use you should clean and lubricate the

H.50 and H.50C Handpiece. The old grease must be cleaned off of

the interior cam chamber and replaced with new lubricant.

1. First remove the chisel, gouge or cutter tip from the handpiece.

2. Next remove the handpiece from the flexible shaft. Follow

“Attaching Handpiece Instructions” on reverse.

3. Unscrew (counterclockwise) the aluminum housing ring (#15)

and Q.D

connector (#12).To prevent the pliers from marring the

aluminum, wrap it in a rag or piece of leather

4. Now you can carefully separate the halves of the black plastic

top housing (#6) and bottom housing (#14). Keep the spindle/

plunger assembly in one half of the black plastic housing. Be

careful not to lose or displace the small pin guide inserts (#5).

5. Gently wipe out the grease from the empty half of the housing

with a small clean rag or Q-tip.

6. Carefully remove the spindle/ plunger assemblies making sure

not to disassemble either and gently wipe off the old grease with a

soft clean rag.

7. Clean the other half of the housing with a small clean rag or

Q-tip and replace the cleaned spindle/plunger assemblies in one

half of the housing.

8. Squeeze a thin line (1/8″ thick, no more!) of Foredom

Chisel

Handpiece Grease (p/n MS10008) from the plunger pin (#3) to the

furthest of the two actuating cam gears (#13). Do Not put grease

beyond this cam as the ball bearings do not require grease.

9. Replace the remaining half of the housing taking care that the

plunger pin is inserted in the pin guide insert (#5) and that the

sleeve bearings and ball bearing fit into their respective slots.

10. Carefully screw the metal Q.D. connector and metal housing

ring onto the softer plastic top and bottom housing, making sure

that you do not cross-thread them. Attach the handpiece to the

flexible shaft and run slowly for 5 minutes to redistribute the grease

before resuming carving.

o operate within the 1,000 – 8,000 RPM optimum cutting

speed, we recommend the use of a bench top dial control (C.EM

or C.EMX) in place of the more common foot pedal. Running at

higher speeds will lead to heat, vibration, and excess cam wear.

Attaching and Mounting

Cutters, Chisels, or Gouges

Remove the H.50 Handpiece from

the flexible shaft or make sure that the

flexible shaft motor switch is OFF.

2. Loosen the locking nut with the supplied

12mm spanner wrench by unscrewing it

counterclockwise.

3. Choose a chisel, gouge, or cutter and with

the protective cap still in place insert the tang

fully into the plunger shaft. T

ighten the locking

nut clockwise until chisel or tool bit is held

securely. Do not over tighten. Once the

accessory tip is mounted and the protective cap is removed, you can re-

attach the handpiece, turn on the flexible shaft machine and begin to carve.
