Installing or removing wheel point
Fig.2
Loosen the collet nut and insert the wheel point into the
collet nut. Use one wrench to hold the spindle and the
other one to tighten the collet nut securely.
The wheel point should not be mounted more than 10
mm from the collet nut. Exceeding this distance could
cause vibration or a broken shaft.
10 mm (3/8") MAX.

To remove the wheel point, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
CAUTION:
•
Use the correct size collet cone for the wheel point
which you intend to use.
OPERATION
Fig.3
Turn the tool on without the wheel point making any
contact with the workpiece and wait until the wheel point
attains full speed. Then apply the wheel point to the
workpiece gently. To obtain a good finish, move the tool
in the leftward direction slowly.
CAUTION:
•
Apply light pressure on the tool. Excessive
pressure on the tool will only cause a poor finish
and overloading of the motor.
