the motor shaft. Particles of dirt between the motor shaft and the collet chuck prevent
perfect positioning of the rotor and cause erratic running.
•
Position the rotor vertically on the motor shaft and press down as far as the stop. The
rotor must audibly engage in the collet chuck.
•
Tighten the rotor tension nut with the supplied wrench by turning in a clockwise
direction.
•
Check the rotor for firm seating.
