Fitting the Flexible Shaft:
1. Remove the Front Cover from the tool by turning it anti-
clockwise.
2. Loosen the collet nut until there is no pressure on the collet.
3. Partially withdraw the inner transmission cable from the
flexible shaft.
4. Insert the inner cable as far into the collet as it will go.
5. Press the Spindle Lock and tighten the collet nut with the
spanner.
6.
Screw on the Flexible Shaft threaded cover to the front of
the tool by tuning it clockwise.
Screw on hand tight only.
Fitting Accessories to the Flexible Shaft:
1. Slide and rotate the Outer Sleeve back from the Collet Nut
until it moves as far as the base of the Collet Nut. This
locks the spindle of the Flexible Shaft.
2. Insert the accessory shaft, in the same manner as
previously described under “Changing Accessories”, and
tighten with the spanner..
3. Release the Outer Sleeve to unlock the spindle.
Caution:
Do not bend the Flexible Shaft into a radius of
less than 150mm. Excessive curvature will cause
permanent damage or over-heating in use. When not in
use, keep the Flexible Shaft in a suitable clean dry
container or bag. Lubricate with a couple drops of light
oil occasionally.
Caution:
Do not loosen or tighten the Collet Nut without first locking the Flexible Shaft as
described above. The Flexible Shaft may be damaged otherwise.
WORKING ADVICE:
Allow the tool to cool down after running it for a long period, or under moderate load. Run
unloaded for several minutes to increase ventilation.
Grinding and cutting discs become very hot in use. Do not touch or attempt to change them until
they have cooled down.
Don’t use the tool near flammable materials – hot sparks could ignite materials or cause personal
injury.
Use a shallow angle – 15º to 30º - when using grinding discs to prevent hogging in and surface
damage.
Do not use worn out, torn or otherwise damaged grinding, cutting or sanding tools. Replace them
with new ones immediately.
Do not apply heavy pressure to the work. Allow the tool to work at its own rate for best results.
