2. Remove the collet (5) and 

replace with the desired 

collet (fig. F). The size of 

the collet will depend on 

the shaft diameter of the 

accessory to be used.

3. Press the spindle lock 

button (2) and hand tighten 

the collet nut (3) by turning 

it in a clockwise direction. 

Changing accessories

WARNING.

 If the accessory has not been inserted as far as 

possible there may be too much shaft exposed which could 

cause the bit to damage and/or bend.

IMPORTANT.

 Ensure the machine is switched off and the 

plug is removed from the power before you commence 

accessory changeover.

Note.

 Loosen and tighten the collet nut (3) with your hands. 

Never tighten the collet nut (3) with the use of pliers or any 

other clamping device as the collet nut (3) may strip.  

Always ensure bits are tight before commencing any work 

with your tool.
1. Turn the collet nut (3) in an anti-clockwise direction to 

loosen and, when loose, insert the desired rotary tool 

piece into the collet (5). 

Note.

 If the shaft of the rotary tool is too large to fit into the 

collet (5) or fits too loosely, it is necessary to change the 

collet. Refer to ‘Changing the collet’ of this manual  

for instructions. 
2. Whilst depressing the spindle lock button (2), hand 

tighten the collet nut (3) by turning it clockwise until tight.

Note.

 If the rotary tool piece is not spinning, yet the collet 

nut (3) is spinning, the collet nut (3) may need to be 

tightened further.  

Locating a cutting / sanding disc 

1. Locate an appropriate disc mandrel (holder) into  

the collet (5).

2. Remove the screw from 

the end of the disc mandrel 

with the 2-in-1 wrench by 

turning in an anti-clockwise 

direction (fig. H).

3. Place a cutting/sanding disc 

onto the screw of the disc 

mandrel (placing one of the 

rubber washers provided 

with the disc mandrel on 

either side of the for protection). 

4. Place the screw, with the disc onto the disc shaft and 

tighten with the 2-in-1 wrench by turning the screw in  

a clockwise direction (Do not over-tighten as the disc  

will crack).

Locating a sanding drum

1. Loosen the small screw on 

the sanding drum mandrel 

(holder) with the 2-in-1 

wrench by turning it anti-

clockwise (fig. I). This will 

allow the rubber to slacken 

and allow the sanding drum 

to slide onto the sanding 

drum holder.

3. Slide the sanding band onto 

the sanding drum mandrel.

4. Secure the sand drum mandrel in place by tightening the 

screw on the top of the sanding band mandrel with the 

use of the 2-in-1 wrench by turning clockwise.

Note.

 Tightening the screw on the sanding band mandrel 

will cause the rubber to bulge and grip the sanding band. 

Do not over-tighten.
