Fixing Stuck Collets (Fig. H)
It is possible for a collet to get stuck within the collet nut
especially if a collet nut is tightened onto the tool without a
bit in place. If this happens, the collet can be removed from
the collet nut by pushing the shank of an accessory into the
hole in the collet nut. This should cause the collet to pop out
of the collet nut. Inspect collet for cracks.
