slacken.   

2.  Slide the sanding drum onto the holder.   
3.  Secure the sanding drum in place by tightening the screw causing the rubber drum to bulge

shaft in your other hand. 

3.  Raise the handle (11) end of the flexible shaft and shake gently. This will assist the flexible

onto  your  Rotary  Tool.  Gently  shaking  your  Rotary  Tool  and  shaft  will  assist  the  inner 
flexible shaft to locate correctly in the handle (11) of the flexible shaft assembly. 

7.  Tighten  the  collet  nut  (2)  fully  using  the  spanner
