BALANCING ACCESSORIES
For precision work, it is important that all accessories be
properly balanced. To balance an accessory, slightly loosen
the quick-change collet and give the accessory a 1/4 in. turn.
You should be able to tell by the sound and feel if the accessory
is running in balance. Continue adjusting in this fashion until
the best balance is achieved. Replace accessories if they
become damaged or unbalanced.
