Introduction
The Gesswein Power Hand Z-ANX Head Assembly is engineered and manufac-
tured to a high degree of precision and will give you many years of trouble-free
service. Backed by a limited warranty that covers wear parts for 90 days and
overall balance of parts for six months.
This Head Assembly is designed to be used with the Power Hand motors in
conjunction with Power Hand Single, Standard, Dual, Jewelers’ Micromotor,
Power Carver II, and Bright-Cutting Controllers. These controllers convert the
Alternating Current (AC) power supply to a variable Direct Current (DC) by
means of an I.C. “transistorized” automatically controlled circuit.
The Gesswein Power Hand 3 handpiece series consists of six models and
seven head assemblies with maximum operating speeds ranging from 8,000 to
55,000rpm and 0 to 117 strokes per second. All models are identified by their
names, which are engraved on the motor housings.

3. General Description of Use
Tool Changing
The Gesswein Power Hand Angle Rotary
Handpiece uses a quick-tool-release mech-
anism that allows for rapid tool changes. To
operate, turn the Collet Release Ring coun-
terclockwise toward the arrow pointing to the
“R” or release position (see fig. 2). When in
the full “R” position, the Collet Release Ring
will make a click sound; the collet is then fully
open and ready to accept a tool.
To secure the tool, turn the Collet Release
Ring toward the “S” or secure position.
Again, a click sound will be heard, indicat-
ing the collet is fully closed and the tool is
secure.
When changing tools, be sure that the hand-
piece motor is not running. If you attempt a
tool change under this condition, the motor
will be stalled and damage will occur.
Collet Removal
The Angle Rotary Handpieces can accept
many different size collets (see Specifications).
Standard sizes are 3⁄32" (2.35mm) and 1⁄8"
(3.2mm).
To change collets, turn the Collet Release Ring
to the full “R” position and remove the tool in
the collet. Hold the collet between the thumb
and forefinger and turn in a counterclockwise
direction until the collet is removed (see fig.
3). Insert the new collet and reverse the pro-
cedure. It is best to always tighten a replaced
collet by hand using the Collet Wrench (#510-
0180), securing until just tight.

If the collet cannot be loosened by hand
using the Collet Wrench, additional torque
may be required. To use the Collet Wrench,
place the triangular cutout in the wrench
over the collet and turn counterclockwise to
loosen and clockwise to tighten the collet. If
more torque is required, hold the handpiece
with the Collet Wrench secure on the collet,
and tap the wrench with a solid tool (see
fig. 3a) in a counterclockwise direction. This
procedure will loosen the collet, which can
then be removed by hand.
If the collet is so tight that the above proce-
dure will not loosen it, then remove the Head
Assembly from the Motor Assembly. This can
be done by grasping the Motor Connecting
Ring (see fig. 1) and pulling upward. Insert
the Chuck Joint Wrench (see fig. 3b) into the
Nylon Coupler (#510-0151), hold the Head
Assembly and Wrench securely in one hand,
and with the Collet Wrench in place on the
collet, loosen in a counterclockwise direc-
tion (for parts drawing, refer to page 11).
After a collet is replaced, be sure that the
Collet Release Ring is rotated to its full “S”
position and that the collet rotates freely
when turned by hand. If the collet does not
rotate freely, it is not fully seated in the Head
Assembly, and you must repeat the remov-
al-replacement procedure.
