CHANGING THE COLLET
Different accessories require the use of
different sized collets. The most common
collet sizes are 1/8, 3/32, and 1/16" (3, 2.5,
and 1.5 mm). It is important to ensure that
the collet size matches the shank of the
accessory.
WARNING:
If the collet is too
large for the accessory, the accessory
could be thrown from the tool, which
could cause serious injury.
1. Turn the switch to the OFF position, and
disconnect the plug from the outlet.
2. Depress the spindle lock button (1), and
slowly turn the collet nut (2) until the
spindle lock button locks the spindle in
place (Fig. 1).
3. Hold the spindle lock button down, and
turn the collet nut counter-clockwise using
the collet wrench until it comes free.
4. Remove the collet (3) by pulling it out of
the spindle (4).
5. Insert the replacement collet into the
spindle, and tighten 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. Doing
so will damage the collet.
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
1. Turn the switch to the OFF position, and
