preventing further rotation.

 

With the spindle lock engaged, use the collet wrench 
to loosen the collet nut, if necessary.

 

Remove collet nut and collet.

 

Insert the 1/8 in. collet.

 

Replace and tighten the collet nut.

 

Insert drive shaft into collet nut until the collar meets 
the collet nut.

 

Tighten the collet nut completely, keeping collar in 
contact with the collet nut.

 

Insert cup end of flex shaft onto tool head. Turn 
clockwise to tighten.

To install accessories into the fl ex shaft:

 

Unplug the rotary tool.

 

Locate the hole behind the collet nut in the flex shaft 
body.

 

Turn the collet nut until the hole in the flex shaft body 
aligns with the hole visible inside the flex shaft.

 

Insert provided locking key into the aligned holes to 
lock collet nut into place.

 

Insert the shank of the accessory into the collet nut 
until the shank bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in. to 
allow for expansion when the accessory gets hot.

 

With the key still in place, tighten the collet nut with the 
provided wrench until the accessory shank is gripped 
by the collet. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet 
nut.

 

Remove the key.

To remove accessories from the fl ex shaft:

 

Unplug the rotary tool.

 

Locate the hole behind the collet nut in the flex shaft 
body.

 

Turn the collet nut until the hole in the flex shaft body 
aligns with the hole visible inside the flex shaft.

To operate the rotary tool using the fl ex shaft:

 

Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench to 
prevent it from moving under the tool.

 

Grip the flex shaft along the grooved gripping section.

 

Hold the tool in front and away from you, keeping the 
tool accessory clear of the workpiece.

 

Turn on the tool and let the motor and accessory build 
up to full speed.

 

Lower the tool gradually until the accessory contacts 
the workpiece.

 

Move the tool continuously at a steady, consistent 
pace.

 

Use just enough pressure to keep the tool from 
chattering or bouncing.

NOTE:

 Heavy pressure will decrease the tool’s speed and 

put a strain on the motor. The weight of the tool alone is 
adequate for most jobs.

 

Lift the tool away from the workpiece before turning 
off the tool.

LIVE TOOL INDICATOR

This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as 
soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the 
user that the tool is connected and will operate when the 
switch is pressed.

MAINTENANCE

 WARNING

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. 
Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause 
product damage.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most 
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. 
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

 WARNING

Do not at any time let brake fl uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact 
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can 
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

Do not

 

abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage 

tool as well as workpiece.

 WARNING

Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories 
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such 
alteration or modifi cation is misuse and could result 
in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious 
personal injury.

Electric tools used on fi berglass material, wallboard, 
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to 
accelerated wear and possible premature failure because 
the  fi berglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to 
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we 
do not recommend using the product for extended work 
on these types of materials. However, if you do work with 
any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean 
the product using compressed air.
