CHANGING THE COLLET
Some accessories require the use of different sized
collets. Collet sizes can be 1/16”, 3/32” and 1/8”. It is
important to ensure that the collet size matches the
accessory.
NOTE:
This tool includes two of the most commonly
used collets: 3/32” and 1/8”.
WARNING
Using a collet that is too large for the accessory will
result in the accessory possibly being thrown from the
tool causing serious injury.
1. Turn the tool switch OFF and remove the plug from
the power source.
2. Depress the spindle lock button (1) and slowly turn
the collet nut (2) until the spindle lock button locks
the spindle. (see Fig. 3)
3. While holding the spindle lock button down, turn
the collet nut counter clockwise until it is removed.
4. Remove the collet (3) by pulling it out of the
spindle (4).
5. Insert the replacement collet into the spindle and
replace the collet nut by turning it clockwise while
holding the spindle lock button down.
NOTE:
Do not tighten the collet nut without an
accessory installed in the collet. You will damage the
collet.
