CAUTION
Never close the spindle without a collet inserted. The spindle may be
destroyed if rotated without a collet inserted.

There should always be a tool in the collet. If the collet is repeatedly closed
without a tool inserted, it may lose its accuracy and will have to be replaced.
The collet must be removed and cleaned at least once per week and
after every tool breakage. The collet must be checked for damage during
cleaning.
Use the collet maintenance kit supplied for cleaning and maintaining the
collet. The figure below shows the accessories included in the collet
maintenance kit.

Avoid long and intensive contact with the skin, and ensure that the skin
is thoroughly cleaned after work and before breaks. The use of a skin
protection cream is recommended.
