Foreword
The Helius foot care unit was produced according to strict quality criteria and uses the
latest technology in its design. The images in this manual may vary slightly from the
product you have bought as the products are constantly being developed.
This user manual includes a detailed description and explanation of how to use the
Helius unit. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us by telephone
or email.
This user manual belongs with the Helius unit. Keep it somewhere safe. If you give this
product to someone else, please include this document as it includes important infor-
mation on how to correctly use the product.
Short description of functions
The Helius is a medical 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 pressing 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. The device
display will notify you when the filter needs to be changed and when the device is due
for inspection

Safety Instructions
The equipment should only be used by trained
operators.
The installation of the working area has to cor-
respond 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 con-
nection to the mains power supply. Set up the
unit so that the power plug is always accessi-
ble. 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 dis-
connected from mains. Check the mains cable
regularly for damages and in case of such, it
has to be exchanged or repaired by an au-

Before First Use
Please read through the instructions
carefully before using the unit and
carefully note the safety advice.
Always keep this manual accessible
to any users of the drill.
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 environ-
ment 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 porta-
ble 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 op-
erating buttons are easy to reach
and the outlet of the hose is a max-
imum distance of 60 cm from the
patient's foot. The unit should be
30 –90 cm from the floor.

Before First Use
If you have a foot switch, insert its
plug into the port on the right of the
device which displays this symbol
.
Check that the filter bag and dust
filter are correctly fitted. Ensure that
the tool is fixed.
On the left side in the back of the
device you will find the main power
switch. Press this switch to turn the
unit on.
The device is now on standby. Pick
up the handpiece. Should the
handpiece be twisted by the hose
you can adjust that at the control
unit.
To use the handpiece and suction
function press the button (9) on the
front of the unit.

Application
Operation Steps
In the following section the order in
which you should use the device is
described. Additionally, the individ-
ual 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 rota-
tion speeds. However, it is im-
portant 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 optimised for clockwise use.
The rotation direction is irrelevant
for diamond cutters and high-grade
corundum sanders in terms of effi-
ciency. Working anti-clockwise can
be beneficial if, for example, the
dust obscures your field of vision
when working clockwise.
Using buttons (1) and (2) you can
adjust the intensity of the suction.
After choosing a rotation speed and
suction power you can start work-
ing.
If you want to take a break or finish
the job, press the standby button
(9). The handpiece motor and suc-
tion 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.

Application
Suction
Switch on the suction with button
(2). The suction output can be regu-
lated 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 over-
heats, the unit will switch off auto-
matically. 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 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 filter
bag after every 10 operating hours.
Replace a full filter bag immediate-
ly, but no later than FC appears on
the display. You will receive this
message every 50 hours of opera-
tion in the suction mode.
You can read the operating time
since the last filter change by press-
ing and holding button (6) while
pressing the power button at the
same time. First, the five-digit num-
ber of the software version of your
device appears, then the operating
time since the last filter change is
displayed.
At first, unfold the paper of the pa-
per filter (art. 5115) bag 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 pre-
vent it from bending and sliding off.

16
Application
As an option you may also use the
micro filter (art. 5179) instead of
paper filter (art. 5115).
After the filter bag has been
changed, the operating time must
be set to zero. To do this, set the
device to standby by pressing but-
ton (9). Now hold down button (2)
for five seconds until FC appears in
the display.
Exchange Control Unit Filter
This filter (art. 3752) has to be ex-
changed after every 200 operating
hours. Remove the old filter and
place the new one in its holder (see
picture).
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.
Setting up the Speed
Hold the handpiece (incl. tool) in
your hand or store it in the hand-
piece 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 (1) and
(2) and choose its direction of rota-
tion 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 re-
quired rotation speed before chang-
ing the milling tool.
Foot Switch (art. 0970)
Operation of the foot switch
Only use the original hadewe foot
switch, to avoid any damages. In-
sert the plug of the foot switch into
the socket with the symbol .
If you press the foot switch for a
longer period, you will switch on/off
the complete control unit.

Maintenance & Care
Cleaning the Chuck
In the process of time, some dirt
might collect itself within the hand-
piece, 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 pic-
ture:
Now clean the inside of the hand-
piece 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 after-
wards. 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 tech-
nique or motor could be the conse-
quence.
Working with high pressure
will not improve the outcome
of your work, since the mo-
tor will even be slowed down. A
second disadvantage is the strong-
er impact on the ball bearings and
the motor, which will shorten their
life span in the long run.
In case of sending the de-
vice 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.

Troubleshooting
Handpiece vibrates, is very noisy
and/or becomes warm in the front
part.
Use of bent burs/tools. →Use a dif-
ferent 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 in-
strument) manufacturers handling
details.
Bur/tool can be inserted only with
difficulty or not at all.
Use of bent burs/tools. →Use a dif-
ferent 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.
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 lev-
els at different sites of use.
The sound level varies according 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 auto-
matically if it overheats. Let the de-
vice cool down before using it again.
Send the device off for inspection if
this occurs repeatedly.
