Read and understand the tool
manual and these instructions
for the use of this accessory with your tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in serious personal injury.
Wear ANSI compliant eye protection.
The
operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes.
Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp or
multiple bends.
Over
bending the shaft can
generate excessive heat on
the jacket or hand piece
and may cause the flexible
shaft to disengage from
tool. The minimum
recommended bend radius is 5”
Always hold the hand piece firmly in your
hands during the start-up.
The reaction torque of
the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause
the shaft to twist.
Not for use with router bits or other large
diameter cutting bits.
Large diameter cutting bits
can cause kickback and loss of control when used
with the flexible shaft.
Do not remove end ferrule while tool is running.
The cable will become loose from the jacket and
will uncontrollably whip or lash around.

Flexible Shaft Lubrication
The flex-shaft should be
lubricated after every 25-30
hours of use. To lubricate, unscrew the flex-shaft
assembly from the motor housing. Pull the center
core out of the flex-shaft assembly. Wipe a very
thin film automotive wheel bearing grease on to
the center core and reinsert it back into the shaft.
To prevent damage to tool do not over grease
shaft.
Too much grease will cause the unit to
overheat.
Reattach the flex-shaft to the rotary tool.

Installation Instructions
It is extremely important to carefully read and follow the

below to ensure the tool will function properly.
To properly attach the flex-shaft to the rotary tool,
THREE
items must be removed from the tool: the
housing cap, collet nut and collet.
Step 5. Attach by screwing the collar of the
flex-shaft to the rotary tool. Make sure the
square end of the center core engages the
square hole socket in the driver cap.
Note: If the collet nut and collet are not
removed from the motor shaft, the tool will
not function properly.
Do not pull out center core

This could cause disengagement of center core
from handpiece. If tool stops when shaft is bent,
center core may be lodged in driver cap. Loosen

Operating Instructions
Disengagement of the Flex-Shaft
The flexible shaft may become disengaged if
the motor of your rotary tool is not elevated
higher than the working end of the flex-shaft.
The #2222 Rotary Tool Stand is recommended
to hold the rotary tool at the proper height.
Collet and Accessory Assembly
The collet assembly consists of a collet nut and
collet. Take the collet nut and collet that were
removed from your tool in step 2 and 3 and insert
them into the tip of the flex-shaft handpiece.
Collet Removal and Replacement
Four different size collets to accommodate different
shank sizes, are sold separately for your flex-shaft.
To install a different collet, remove the collet nut and
remove the old collet. Insert the unslotted end of the
collet in the hole in the end of the flex-shaft. Replace
collet nut on the shaft.
Always use the collet
which matches the shank size of the accessory
you plan to use.
Never force a larger diameter
shank into a collet.
