Safety Instructions
A Micromotor Handpiece is a high speed
rotary power tool which can be dangerous and cause serious injury if it is not
used properly. NEVER operate it without
wearing eye protection.
• ALWAYS wear proper eye and
face protection.
• ONLY use accessories rated for speeds
of 30,000 rpm or higher when operating
this micromotor.
• ALWAYS observe the manufacturer’s maxi-
mum speed rating when using any accessory.
• NEVER use or continue to use any acces-
sory which appears to be damaged, loose,
vibrating, bent, or out of balance. Inspect
each accessory for cracks or aws 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″ (25mm) 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 us-
ing 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 inha-
lation of harmful dust or debris from grinding,
carving or other operations performed with
this power tool.
• DO NOT cover the ventilation slots or
handpiece motor with cloth or tape. Air must
pass freely through the intake and exhaust
ventilation slots to properly cool the motor.
If the power cord or plug to the handpiece is
damaged, repair or replace immediately.
• NEVER use a damaged power cord or
adapter. ONLY use the power adapter that
came with the K.1030 Kit.
• USE a dust collector or lter hood to pull
sawdust, 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 ngers
away from the cutting edge.
• NEVER cut or exert pressure, toward your
hand or any other part of your body.
• DO NOT wear loose tting clothing or
jewelry. Loose clothing or jewelry can become 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 the collet is in open (unlocked) position. This can damage the handpiece.
• ALWAYS operate and store it with a bur
or other accessory in the collet and with the
collet in the closed position.
• NEVER plug the Handpiece into the On/
Off Foot Control Connection Port on the side
of the Control Unit. ONLY plug the Hand-
piece into the Handpiece Connection Port on
the Top of the Control Unit.
• DO NOT operate the handpiece in the
presence of any ammable liquid or gas.
• NEVER drop the Control Unit or Micromo-
tor Handpiece.
• NEVER plug or unplug the power cord
with wet hands.
• NEVER allow water or liquids to spill onto
any parts of the K.1030 Micromotor Kit.
• DO NOT operate or store the unit in a
high heat environment such as direct sun,
a parked car in hot weather, near a ame
or stove. Minimum and maximum working
environment temperatures are 32°F – 104°F
(0°C – 40°C).
• The K.1030 Micromotor has a Lithium
Ion battery that should NEVER be
thrown in the trash. Recycle Lithium Ion
batteries in accordance with local laws.
www.call2recycle.org is a good source of
recycling locations in the US and Canada.
NEVER throw the battery into a re as
it could explode. Should the electrolytic
chemicals spill and get in your eyes wash
immediately with water. Remove and wash
any clothing or article that has spilled battery
chemicals with water.

Operating Instructions
for the HP4-310 Control Unit
1. Charging the Battery: Once the power
cord and adapter are connecting the control
unit to the electrical outlet, the Battery
Charge LED light will blink on and off. When
the battery is fully charged the light will
stay on. The rst time the battery is charged
it will take about 3 hours. After that, it will
take about 2 hours to fully charge a low
battery. When fully charged the micromotor
will run for 3 to 5 hours depending on the
workload. Charging should be done in a
cool dry place 32°F – 104°F (0°C – 40°C).
The motor will shut down on its own when
the battery charge is too low.
2. The Power On/Off Button located on
the upper left side of the control box must
be pushed in at least 2 seconds to either
turn on or off the micromotor. When it is on
the red LED two digit speed indicator light
will light up as well as the battery indicator/
charge light. 00 rpm is not the same as
OFF. Use the Power On/Off Button to
turn the unit off.
The unit will power off automatically
after 3 minutes if it is not in use.
3.
Each time the unit is turned on
the speed control dial must be
reset to MIN for the micromotor
handpiece to work.
Control Dial varies the speed from

4. The Forward/Reverse Button located
on the upper right side of the control box is
Close
for operating the micromotor handpiece in
reverse rotation. Rotation direction
always resets to Forward when power
is stopped and restarted. The Fwd/Rev
LED on top of the control unit will light up
when reverse rotation is selected. The light
goes off when Forward rotation is engaged.
Forward is the most commonly used setting.
Right-handed people will get the most control
in forward rotation. Forward motor rotation
means that the motor is turning an accessory
(bur, bit, drill, cutter, etc.) counterclockwise
when holding the handpiece upright in your
hand and you are looking down on to the
front of the accessory. When the handpiece/
collet
knurled locking ring
shanks less than 1″ (25mm) long. To tighten
the new bur twist the knurled locking ring
counterclockwise toward the S (Secure) until
it stops and locks the collet closed.
Never turn the power on to the handpiece when the collet is open or in the R
(Release) position.
If the power is on when the collet is open, it
will damage the motor because the spindle is
locked and it will not turn. Always keep a
bur in the collet when it is not in use.
accessory is applied to the workpiece, your
viewpoint changes to the back end of the
handpiece and accessory and the forward
rotation direction can be described as
clockwise.
5. The Optional On/Off Foot Pedal will not
vary the speed and only turns the micromotor
on or off. It plugs into the port marked FOOT
on the lower right side of the control box. To
select the on/off foot pedal you must press
the foot control button located just below the
Forward/Reverse Button on the right side of
the control box. With the on/off foot pedal
you can select and keep a specic speed
setting and return to it without turning the
speed control dial. This is useful when accessories require an optimal speed or a lower
maximum speed (<30,000rpm) than the full
speed range of the micromotor.
6. To Change an Accessory or bur, rst open
the collet. To open the collet, rst turn off the
unit by holding down the on/off button for
Maintenance
The handpiece has permanently lubricated
ball bearings, which require no lubrication.
Putting even a small amount of oil or grease
in the handpiece will damage it and void
the warranty.
