Safety Information__________________________________________________
Important Safety Notes – READ FIRST!
HADEWE equipment should only be used by a trained operator.
Never change the Rotatool (burr, cap, implement, bit, etc.) while the motor is running!
To ensure that the Rotatool or burr is firmly fitted into the chuck, never work with tools
that have an oily shaft, are worn or are bent. Check that the burr is securely locked into
place before turning the equipment on.
Prevent hair from wrapping itself around moving parts. If necessary, wear a hairnet.
Safety glasses or goggles must be worn at all times during operation of this equipment.
Switch on the control unit only when handpiece is held firmly or in the handpiece-holder.
Always switch OFF the equipment after use.
Ensure that both the handpiece and the patient’s foot are held firmly in place during
operation. To prevent injuries, work with extreme caution on the foot of the patient and
use only light pressure, allowing the tool to do the work.
Always use the suction cleaner on level 4 or 5 when working on feet or nails. Additionally,
the operator should wear nose and mouth protection to prevent the inhalation of dust.
Always wear safety glasses.
Before using equipment ensure that:
• The shaft of the burr is completely dry, straight and clean.
• The burr is inserted fully into the clamping chuck (test with the enclosed dipstick
and clean if necessary)
• The burr is perfectly upright when fixed in the clamping chuck.
• The burr is firmly fixed in the clamping chuck when the sliding button on the
handpiece is set to the closed position (towards the back).
WARNING: NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RPM OF THE BURR / ROTATOOL
The burr must be approved for use at the revolutionary speed (max rpm) of the HADEWE
equipment being used (see manufacturer’s instructions). Your HELIUS-40 is capable of
operating at a speed range of 7000 to 40,000rpm as shown on the digital display.
Switch the equipment off immediately if:
• The Rotatool becomes loose during use; or
• The motor blocks during use.

Maintenance & Care________________________________________________
Cleaning the Clamping Chuck
The seals on the handpiece should ensure that very little
dust enters into the handpiece. Nevertheless, you should
clean the chuck on a regular basis (once a month) or more
often if any of the following happen:
• The chuck can only be opened with extra force
• The Rotatool cannot be inserted far enough into the chuck. To check if cleaning is
necessary push the enclosed dipstick as far as possible into the chuck. If the groves
are visible, cleaning is necessary. (If the dipstick is not available, depth limit is 1”)
• The shaft of the Rotatools become dirty while in the handpiece
• Rotatools can only be inserted with force
In order to clean the clamping chuck, remove it from the handpiece (follow the instructions
on the previous page) and follow these instructions:
1. Soak the clamping chuck in mineral spirits or non-abrasive cleaning solution
2. Use a brush to clean slot and bore
3. Leave to dry
4. Rub a small drop of machine oil onto your fingers and then lubricate the chuck shaft
with the oil from your fingers. Do not use too much oil and never use cooking oil.

Maintenance & Care_________________________________________________
Helpful Advice
Never clean the handpiece while the motor is running or with a pressurized air device. Dirt
could be forced into the bearings causing damage.
Never immerse the handpiece in liquids including lubricant. Clean the surface with a damp
cloth but not with any sprays. Make sure no liquids penetrate the motor handset, doing so
could damage electrical components in the handpiece.
Always leave a tool or the enclosed dipstick in the unused handpiece.
Don’t drop or knock the handpiece. This could damage the bearings or the motor.
Using damaged tools causes extra vibration of the handpiece. This could result in damage
or destruction of the bearings, the clamping chuck and/or the motor.
Do not apply excessive force when working with the handpiece. Working with too high
pressure doesn’t improve performance as the motor is slowed down, while the extra
demand may result in increased wear and tear on the handpiece motor and bearings.

Troubleshooting
Problem Probable Cause Solution
Use of bent tools/burrs Try using a different tool to check if this
corrects problem
Handpiece vibrates, is very noisy Maximum allowed speed was
exceeded for the tool Check tool manufacturer’s recommended
speed and decrease speed on control unit
Handpiece is becoming very hot
during operation Too much pressure is being
applied during use Avoid pressing too hard when working,
instead let the tool do the work
Use of bent tools Use a different tool to test this
Tool/burr can be inserted only
with difficulty, or not at all Chuck is dirty Clean the chuck according to the instructions
in the manual
The chuck is open Slide the button on the handpiece back to
lock the chuck
Tool/burr does not spin The chuck is not tightened
well Tighten the chuck firmly according to the
instructions in the manual
Button on the handpiece cannot
be moved easily Chuck is dirty Clean the chuck according to the instructions
in the manual
The cable is not plugged in Check to ensure that the equipment is
plugged into a working wall socket
The main power button is
turned off Check at the back side of the unit to ensure
that the power button is ON
Equipment does not turn on
Footswitch is faulty Pull the footswitch out of the socket to see if
this corrects the problem
The burr stops suddenly Motor is overheating Let the unit rest 10-15 minutes then try
again. If motor operates normally try
working with less pressure on the handpiece.
The suction stops suddenly Suction motor is overheating
Check that the filter bag is not full and that
there is no obstruction of airflow for the
vacuum. Allow motor to cool 10-15 minutes
and try again.
