Safety Instructions

Before using your Foredom power tool, please read safety
instructions. They are for your protection and should always be
followed to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the tool.

• Always wear proper eye and face protection. Wear safety glasses or

face shields whenever you operate a Foredom or any power tool to
prevent serious eye or face injuries.

• Secure the work piece or item that you are working on in a vise or

other work holding device. Holding it with your hand can result in
serious hand injury.

• Always use a proper dust collection system or wear a respirator

to prevent the inhalation of dust particles, polishing compounds, or
other debris into the lungs.

• Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry. Loose clothing or

jewelry can become entangled in the rotating accessory. Do not wear
items such as neckties, necklaces, or bracelets when operating power
tools. Be sure to tie back or secure long hair.

• Secure hang up motor to motor hanger. Flexible shaft power

tools can “jump” at start up or vibrate during operation. The
tool should be properly secured to prevent it from vibrating
off of the motor hanger or work bench.

• Never operate any accessory at speeds above its maximum rated

speed. When properly used, all of Foredom’s accessories can be oper­ated at the speed ratings listed in the Foredom Accessory Catalog or
specified on kits and packages. Always find out the manufacturer’s
speed rating before using accessories other than those from Foredom.

Follow Instructions below to assemble your
MAMH-1 or MAMH-2 Double Motor Hanger

1. Before you can hang up your flex shaft

motor, decide where you want the motor
hanger to be. If you are right handed it will
probably be on your right, and if you are left
handed it will probably be on your left.
Depending on which you have, attach either

the MABC-1 Bench Clamp or MABC-2 Base
to your work bench very securely. Both

mounts have knobs for adjusting
the height of the motor hanger.

2. Slide the handpiece rest
MAHR-2 onto the Middle
and tighten it enough so that it
does not slide around. You will
want to adjust its position on the
rod according to your needs once
the motor is hanging.

3. Assemble the rods in the order
shown in the drawing at left.

Insert the rods half way into the couplings.

4. Use the Hex Key to securely tighten
both Set Screws in each of the two
Couplings. When the three rods are
properly joined by the Couplings it should
feel like one solid steel bar and should
not flex or wobble at all.

5. Insert the Hanger Rod through the Top Rod
with cross hole so that the Hanger Rod is
centered and securely tighten the Set Screw
into the end of the Top Rod with cross hole
using the Hex Key.

6. Slide the assembled hanger rods into either
mount that you have installed on your work
bench at a comfortable height for you to reach
and tighten adjusting knob.

Make sure the
vertical hanger rod extends at least 1/4″
below the end of either the MABC-1
Bench Clamp or MABC-2 Base.

Safety Hook

7. Slip a Safety Hook
through the motor
bale so that the
circular holes in the
Safety Hook are at
the top.

8. Slide Safety Hook holding motor onto the
Hanger Rod with the hooks positioned as
shown at top right side of this page.

Using the MABC-2 Base

1. Position the assembled Motor Hanger at
desired height.

2. Tighten the Threaded Knob firmly against
the Rod.

3. Tighten the Jam Nut firmly against the Base
using a 1/2″ wrench.

9. Use the Threaded Mounting Knobs to raise

or lower the height of the Motor Hanger.

Keep a distance of 25″–29″ between the
benchtop and the bottom surface of the
motor. Turn motor on to be sure it is installed

properly. A second motor can also be
mounted on the hanger.

IMPORTANT:

height to avoid sharp angles and bends in
your shaft and sheath. Excessive heat or
wear will occur if the curve is less than
a

4″ radius.

Be sure to position motor

Move sideways along the wall, still tapping,
and listen for a solid sound. Studs are usually
placed 16″– 24″ apart, but may be located
differently in older buildings.

or magnetic stud finder, available at
hardware stores.
