INSTALLING BITS
The bits are held by a keyless collet system
designed specifically for spiral saw bits with
1/8" (.125"), 1/4" (.250") or 5/32" (.156") shanks.
The bit flutes are sharp and
should be handled with
caution.
Depress and hold the shaft-lock in and rotate
the keyless chuck and shaft until the shaft-
lock engages and holds the shaft.
To prevent damage to tool.
Never use the shaft lock as a
braking devise to stop the tool from rotating.
Rotate the keyless chuck (counter-clockwise)
(Fig. 2). Remove the old bit (if there is one)
insert the new bit as far as possible, but not
so far that the bit flutes engage the jaws of
the chuck (leave approximately 1/8" of shank
exposed) Re-engage the shaft-lock and
securely tighten the keyless chuck
(clockwise) by hand.
Note:
When using 1/4" and 5/32" bits it may
be necessary to use a wrench on the front of
the keyless chuck to securely tighten the bit.
