Foredom LED Light Bar Installation for Flex Shaft Motors

Quick answer

Mount the MALB-1 LED Light Bar onto the support rod of your Foredom flex shaft motor hanger, then connect the power cord to a 110V or 220V outlet. The light turns on when horizontal and off when pivoted upright.

Installation steps

1. Attach the mounting bracket: Slide the provided mounting bracket onto the support rod of your Foredom motor hanger. Tighten the set screw just enough to hold the bracket in place without overtightening. Common mistake: Overtightening can crack the bracket or strip the threads. Snug is enough.
2. Connect the light bar: Align the MALB-1 light bar with the bracket’s mounting holes. Insert and hand-tighten the included screws. Do not use power tools—hand tools only to avoid cross-threading. Checkpoint: Ensure the light pivots freely in the bracket before final tightening.
3. Route the power cord: Drape the power cord along the support rod and secure it with cable ties (not included). Keep the cord away from moving parts of the flex shaft motor to prevent snagging. Common mistake: Leaving the cord loose can cause it to catch on tools or motor parts. Use at least two cable ties.
4. Test the pivot switch: Plug the light into a 110V/220V outlet. Rotate the light bar to the horizontal position—it should illuminate. Pivot it 90° upright to turn it off. If it doesn't switch, check the bracket alignment. Checkpoint: If the light stays on in both positions, the bracket may be misaligned. Loosen and re-center the mounting bracket.
