QUICK-CHANGE COLLET
See Figure 2, page 15.
NOTE: The tool ships with a preinstalled collet that is
machined to precision tolerances to fit accessories with
1/8 in. diameter shanks. When installed, the quick change
collet allows the user to change accessories without tools
and without removing the collet from the shaft. The quick
change collet is not compatible with 1/16 in. shanks.
To remove/install the quick change collet:

Unplug the rotary tool.


Depress and hold the spindle lock button and rotate the
shaft by hand until the spindle lock engages the shaft,
preventing further rotation.
  With the spindle lock engaged, place the included 3/8 in.
wrench on the bottom threaded end of the quick-change
collet and turn counterclockwise to loosen. Continue
turning counterclockwise to remove the collet from the
tool.

Remove the quick-change collet.
OPERATION

To install , engage the spindle lock. Place the quick-
change collet on the shaft and begin threading on by
hand until there is resistance. Then use the included 3/8
in. wrench on the bottom threaded end of the collet and
rotate clockwise until tightly secured.
WARNING:
Always use the collet which matches the shank size of the
accessory you plan to use. Never force a large diameter
shank into a collet. The accessory should fit smoothly into
the collet, but you should be able to tighten the accessory
firmly and securely with the quick-change collet.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
the spindle lock.
INSTALLING/REMOVING ACCESSORIES
See Figures 3 - 4, page 15.
To install:
 Unplug the rotary tool.

the shaft.

While depressing the spindle lock, use your hand to
loosen the collet by rotating the sleeve counterclockwise.
  Insert the shank of the accessory into the collet until the
shank bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in. to allow for
expansion when the accessory gets hot.


Rotate the collet sleeve clockwise until clicking stops and
the accessory shank is gripped by the collet.
NOTE:
If sleeve cannot be tightened or loosened
sufficiently by hand, use the included 3/8 in. collet wrench
on the top hexed area of the collet. Turn clockwise to
tighten or counterclockwise to loosen.

NOTE: When trying to remove an accessory, if the quick-
change collet begins to unthread from the tool, repeat the
install process.
