Short description of functions

The Veloria is a device for the treatment of callus and nails. The handpiece is compati­ble with rotating tools such as diamond polishers, steel cutters and ceramic cutters.
These can reach at speeds up to 40,000 rpm and therefore provide an efficient way of
removing tissue. The direction of rotation can be changed by pre ssing a button. The
integrated filtered suction function effectively sucks up any dust particles. The rotation
speed and suction function can be adjusted using the keyboard.

Safety Instructions

The installation of the working area has to cor­respond to the relevant regulations. Set up the
unit in such a way, that the air slits are not
blocked and the extracted air can escape well.

To avoid the risk of electrocution only connect
the device to the mains power supply. If you pull
the power plug, it will stop the connection to the
mains power supply. Set up the unit so that the
power plug is always accessible. The power
switch should also always be easily accessible.

Only switch on the unit, if the handpiece rests
secured in the handpiece holder, or if you hold it
safely in your hand.

Prevent any liquids from entering into the con­trol unit, since this could damage the electronic
elements. Clean the outside of the box only with
a damped cloth. Make sure, that you have un­plugged the unit before.

Only when pulling the mains cable, you can en­sure that the device will be completely discon­nected from mains. Check the mains cable reg­ularly for damages and in case of such, have it
changed or repaired by an authorized service
center.

Prevent your hair from wrapping itself around
moving parts. If applicable, wear a hair net.

Safety Instructions

To ensure that the bur/tool sits firmly in the
chuck, do not work with tools which

• have an oily shaft,

• are worn,

• are bent.

Before using the equipment, assure that

• the tool can be pushed far enough into the
chuck (Test this with a dipstick and clean if
necessary.),

• the inserted tool sits properly in the chuck and
will not cant/jam while clamping it,

• the tool is approved for using it at the max
speed (see manufacturer’s instructions)

• or only use the speed required by the instru­ment,

• the tool is absolutely dry.

When changing the filter, it is advisable to wear
a face mask conforming to EN 14683 type IIR or
EN 149 FFP 2.

For safety reasons do not change the tool while
the motor is running.

Switch off the unit immediately if

• the bur comes off during the treatment itself.

• the motor blocks during the treatment.

While doing any foot care, only operate the unit
with the suction turned on.

7

Safety Instructions

Only use the suction function if you have in­stalled the suction filter. Check this filter every
10 operating hours. If it is full, please exchange
it. A filter should be exchanged at least after 50
operating hours.

Never use the suction to vacuum any liquids (or
air/water fog which contains particles of liquids).

Always follow the operating instructions. Do not
carry out any repairs, modifications or mainte­nance work yourself. This is only to be accom­plished by an authorized specialist. The mains
cable may also only be changed by the manufac­turer, or an authorized specialist. Maintenance
records may be supplied to repair workshops and
trained technicians upon request. Never remove
the housing, especially not while the equipment is
plugged into the socket, since some components
are under electric voltage. Any unauthorized or
improper handling (e.g. trying to repair the unit) of
the equipment will immediately nullify the guaran­tee/warranty and any other liabilities of the manu­facturer.

When the device is brought out of standby
mode, it will run with the rotation speed and suc­tion power used last. Take care to not start the
mill at an overly high rotation speed. Select the
required rotation speed before changing the
milling tool.

8

Cleaning & Disinfection

The device is designed to be compatible with rotating in-

struments which do not penetrate the skin or mucosal or
inadvertently may still cause injuries. For this application please
adhere to the cleaning and disinfection instructions provided be­low. After every treatment please carry out these steps:

• Remove the rotating tool (e.g. bur) first. To do so, pay atten-

tion to the instructions of its manufacturer.

• Remove clothing remains through wiping off easily the unit

with a moistened paper cloth. Afterwards clean all surfaces
with a disinfection cloth (e.g. Mikrozid AF cloths of Schülke
and Mayr).

Area of Application

This device should only be used by
people who have completed a foot
care qualification. Before use the
operator should familiarize with the
device by reading this manual or
being instructed by another.

The device must only be used in
closed spaces. It may be used in
hospitals, in a commercial environ­ment or in homes. The device is not
intended for use in operating rooms.

The control unit can be set up in a
cabinet or can be used as a porta­ble unit (e.g. in a carry case). It is
suitable for the following scopes:

• foot care (milling, trimming and

polishing),

• manicure (grinding, milling and

polishing works).

The devise is determined of

operating rotating instru-

ments, which will not
penetrate the skin or murcous
membrane if used appropriate, but
could evoke damages accidently.

Caution: In the area of

pedicure you have to work

with suction techniques.

Operation

The working area must conform to
the conditions described. Set up the
unit in such a way, that the air slits
are not blocked and the extracted
air can escape well. To guarantee
unhindered air flow there must a
gap of at least 12 cm to the right of
the device.

Position the device so that the op­erating buttons are easy to reach
and the outlet of the hose is a max­imum distance of 60 cm from the
patient’s foot. The unit should be
30 – 90 cm from the floor.

Operation Steps

In the following section the order in
which you should use the device is
described. Additionally, the individ­ual steps will be explained in detail.
Read the complete manual before
use.

After connecting the device to the
power press the standby button (9)
to make it start rotating. Use the (3)
and (4) buttons to select a rotation
speed. Manufacturers often provide
recommendations for optimal rota­tion speeds. However, it is im­portant that you never exceed the
maximum recommended rotation
speed.

You can now choose a rotation
direction using the button (6). The
most commonly used direction is
clockwise. Most milling instrument
(steel instruments with steel cutters)
are optimized for clockwise use.
The rotation direction is irrelevant
for diamond cutters and high-grade
corundum sanders in terms of effi­ciency. Working anti-clockwise can
be beneficial if, for example, the
dust obscures your field of vision
when working clockwise.

Switch on the suction with button
(2). Using buttons (1) and (2) you
can adjust the intensity of the suc­tion.

Frequently used rotation speeds
and suction power settings can be
saved. First select the desired rota­tion speed and suction power. After
choosing a rotation speed and suc-

tion power you can start working. If
you want to take a break or finish
the job, press the standby button
(9). The handpiece motor and suc­tion will turn off. The handpiece can
now be placed in its holder on the
right of the unit. Alternatively, you
can switch the device to standby by
pressing the button on the foot
switch.

We recommend you disconnect the
device from the mains power supply
if is not going to be used for a while.
This will save electricity. The mains
plug must also be removed when it
comes to retiring the device.

13

Use

Work Positioning

The following images are examples
of how to work on various parts of
the foot. Always make sure that the
foot is firmly gripped and that you
can work freely and without strain.

14

15

Use

Suction

Switch on the suction with button
(2). The suction output can be regu­lated in 5 levels. You will see the
selected level in the display. Level 0
would mean that the suction is
turned off.

In case the suction motor over­heats, the unit will switch off auto­matically. Leave the unit to cool off
for a while before starting it again.
Should the same failure appear
again, please return the unit to your
supplier for inspection.

Exchange Micro Filter

When changing the micro
filter, it is advisable to wear
a face mask conforming to

EN 14683 type IIR or EN 149 FFP

2.

Only operate the unit with a suction
filter assembled. Control the micro
filter after every 10 operating hours.
Exchange a full filter immediately. A
filter should be exchanged at least
after 50 operating hours.

At first, unfold the paper of the mi­cro filter (art. 5179) and push your
finger into the opening in the front.

Pull out the lid of the dust chamber
and remove the old filter. Hold the
filter in the middle to prevent it from
bending and sliding off (see picture
below).

The dust filter (art. 5179)
must be used. The paper
filter (art. 5115) must NOT

be used.

Exchange Control Unit Filter

The control unit filter (art. 3752) has
to be exchanged after every 200
operating hours. Remove the old
filter and place the new one in its
holder.

16

Use

Clamping the Bur/Tool

The handpiece is equipped with a
chuck, which can hold all burs with
a diameter of 2.35 mm (this is the
diameter usually used for tools in
podiatry). To open the chuck, push
the knob forward with your thumb
and leave it there.

Now insert the tool as far as possi­ble. Pull back the knob and the tool
will be firmly clamped.

For security reasons, only
change the tool if the
handpiece is turned off.

Adjusting the Speed

Hold the handpiece (incl. tool) in
your hand or store it in the hand­piece holder attached to the side of
the control unit. Switch on the unit
with button (9). Now you can also
set the speed with buttons (3) and
(4). Choose the direction of rotation
with button (6).

When the device is brought
out of standby mode it will

run with the rotation speed
and suction power used last. Take
care to not start the mill at an overly
high rotation speed. Select the re­quired rotation speed before chang­ing the milling tool.

Foot Switch

Operation of the foot switch

Only use the original hadewe foot
switch (art. 0970) to avoid damag­es. Insert the plug of the foot switch

into the socket with this symbol .

Function of the foot switch

If you press the foot switch for a
longer period, you will switch on/off
the complete control unit.

17

Maintenance & Care

Cleaning the Chuck

In the process of time, some dirt
might collect itself within the hand­piece and might affect its functions.
Therefore, the chuck has to be
cleaned monthly.

How to remove the chuck

Screw off the top of the handpiece
with the spanner shown in the pic­ture.

Now clean the inside of the hand­piece and the top with the brush.

For opening the chuck, push the
button forward.

Set the screw spanner (wrench) on
the axle and hold it tight. Now use
the front of the second spanner to
unscrew the chuck.

To assemble the chuck, follow the
steps in reverse order. Make sure
that the chuck is opened during the
assembly (the handpiece button
must be in forward position) and is
firmly applied afterwards.

How to clean the chuck
Soak the chuck in ethyl alcohol or a
cleaning liquid for tools. Clean the
slits of the chuck with the brush.

Use the brush to remove all dirt
residues from the drill-hole of the
chuck:

18

Maintenance & Care

Rinse the chuck very well, and
make sure you let it dry well after­wards. Cover your index finger with
a very little amount (just a drop) of
oil and rub in between your thumb
and index finger. Dab off the oil until
your fingers is only covered with a
very thin film of oil. Now move the
chuck in between your thumb and
index finger. There should be only a
very thin film of oil left on the chuck.
Please act according to the saying:
Less is more.

Handling Instructions

Never put the handpiece
into any kind of liquid, and

never oil or grease the
handpiece. Clean its surface with a
damped cloth. Pay attention, that no
moisture or liquid enters the
handpiece. Never use spray dis­infection.

Never put any wet burs or

instruments into the

handpiece. Its moisture
could damage the interior parts of
the handpiece.

Any materials used by

hadewe prevend a formation

of rust. In cases in which a
rust infestation was found within the
handpiece, thorough inspections
and examinations always have
proved that the rust had a foreign
origin (which was usually caused by
the tools used in these
circumstances). Even in high-grade
steel instruments of well known
manufacturers, formation of rust
can appear, e.g., through wrong
treatment with chemical cleaning
and disinfection liquids. This
extraneous rust affects internal
parts of the handpiece in form of
rust bloom and causes pitting.
Therefore, when you not working
with the handpiece, always remove
the bur/tool from it.

Always make sure that you
do not let the handpiece fall

down or exposes it to any
shocks. The ballbearings and the
motor could be damaged by this.
Only work with tools, which are

flawless. Do not work with tools
which

- are bent or out of balance,

- whose shaft is worn out or

- are rusty.

Working with faulty tools will
cause a stronger vibration of

the handpiece. A damage of
the ball bearings, clamping tech­nique or motor could be the conse­quence.

Working with high pressure
will not improve the out-

come of your work, since
the motor will even be slowed
down. A second disadvantage is the
stronger impact on the ball bearings
and the motor, which will shorten
their life span in the long run.

In case of sending the de­vice by mail remove the dust

filter before.

Only suck up dust or milling

waste, never suck up larger

particles such as small bits
of cotton wool as this may be get
caught in the handpiece and lead to
blockages.

20

Troubleshooting

Handpiece vibrates, is very noisy
and/ or becomes warm in the
front part.

Use of bent burs/tools. → Use a
different bur/tool to test this. The
bur/tool itself can be tested with
the hadewe Bur Shaft Tester
(art. 4990) to see if it is bent.

Maximum allowed speed of the

tool was exceeded, which
caused a stronger vibration. →
Pay attention to the tool (e.g.
bur, capper and instrument)
manufacturers handling details.

Bur/tool can be inserted only
with difficulty, or not at all.

Use of bent burs/tools. → Use a
different bur/tool to test this. The
bur/tool itself can be tested with
the hadewe Bur Shaft Tester
(art. 4990) to see if it is bent.

Chuck is dirty. → Clean the
chuck according to the instruc­tions in the manual.

Bur does not clamp or does not
spin.

Chuck is not tightened well. →
Tighten the chuck firmly accord­ing to the instruction in the man­ual.

Knob of the handpiece cannot be
moved easily.
Chuck is dirty. → Clean the

chuck according to the instruc­tions in the manual.

Rubber under the knob is tilted.

→ Turn rubber about 90°.

Unit does not work at all.

Check, if the main switch of the
unit is turned on at the side of
the unit.

Foot switch is used constantly or

faulty. → Pull out the socket of
the foot switch to see if this is
the cause.

Pull out the mains plug to reset

the device.

The unit shows different sound
levels at different sites of use.
The sound level varies accord-

ing to the surroundings of the
unit. If you set up the unit direct­ly in front of a wall, the sound is
reflected stronger, as if it would,
while standing further away from
a wall.

Handpiece motor stutters shortly
(approx. 1 sec) when turning unit
on.
In very rare cases this effect did

appear. It will not harm or dam­age the device.

Suction function doesn’t work.

The suction motor will turn off

automatically if it overheats. Let
the device cool down before us­ing it again. Send the device off
for inspection if this occurs re­peatedly.
