Flex At t ac hment
Your rotary tool kit includes
a flex attachment and
hanger rod that is useful for
extra-delicate work and/or
when working in close
spaces. When using the
flex attachment, be sure
not to bend it tighter than a
6-inch radius at any point
as this could cause
overheating and a possible
burn hazard. Overly tight
bends will also reduce the
attachment life.
The flex shaft and the rotary tool. Note the
collet and the collet nut are already installed
on the rotary tool.
Remove the collet nut and the
collet from the rotary tool
Remove the housing cap from
the rotary tool. This is the black
plastic ring that screws onto the
rotary tool.
Replace the collet nut and collet
back onto the tool. Pull the drive
shaft out of the flex shaft core.
Insert the drive shaft into the
collet until it stops (about 1 inch)
Tighten the collet
Slide the overthrow nut assembly
over the housing and tighten. The
rotary tool with the flex attachment
is now ready for use.
