Notes

• Use at low speed only (0–5,000 RPM). The pedal controls speed, not power.
• This handpiece must be run using a Low Speed High Torque Foredom motor (item 134.159). Using the correct motor will extend the life of the duplex spring.
• Duplex springs and all related USA-made duplex spring connection parts carry no warranty.
• Do not bend the duplex spring beyond 45 degrees during use. Bending beyond this angle or improper detachment from the flex shaft can damage the spring.
• Duplex springs can also fail during normal use.
• It is strongly recommended that you purchase additional inner duplex springs and learn how to replace them. The inner duplex spring is the most common part to fail.
• Replacement inner duplex springs are available individually (Otto Frei part number 134.279, Foredom HP76) or in a pack of 12 (Otto Frei part number 134.280, Foredom HP76B).
