CONNECT FLEXIBLE SHAFT TO TOOL
The flexible shaft is designed to facilitate
working in confined spaces where
otherwise using the rotary tool may be
awkward.
WARNING:
Never bend the
flexible shaft with a radius of less than
6” when operating. Store the flexible
shaft in the designated compartment of
the blow moulded case when not in use.
1. Remove umbrella nut (1) from the tool
by turning it counter-clockwise (see
Fig. 4).
2. Before replacing collet nut, check to
make sure the
1
/
8
” collet is installed in
the motor shaft.
NOTES:
a) To change collet, see Fig. 2.
b) Do not tighten collet nut on collet.
3. Pull flexible shaft inner cable (2) out of
the outer casing (3) about 2”.
4. Insert flexible shaft inner cable into the
collet until the stopper (4) touches the
collet.
5. Tighten collet nut (see Fig. 3).
NOTE:
Do not use pliers to tighten the
collet nut. Use the small wrench
supplied. Over tightening will cause
damage to the tool.
6. Slide flexible shaft outer casing over
the collet nut until casing rests against
the threaded spindle (5).
NOTE:
DO NOT force the outer
casing. If the outer casing will not
easily slide over the inner cable, turn
the collet on the opposite end of the
flexible shaft until the resistance of the
inner cable ceases. This should allow
the outer casing to slide over the inner
cable, and then allow the casing to rest
against the threaded spindle.
7. Screw flexible shaft head nut (6) onto
the threaded spindle by turning it
clockwise.
NOTE:
Only finger-tighten spindle nut.
Do not use pliers or wrench.
CHANGING COLLET & ACCESSORIES
IN FLEXIBLE SHAFT
To change the collet or to install an
accessory in the flexible shaft, follow
“changing the collet” and “installing
accessories” (see Page 17). To lock the
shaft, pull back on the flexible shaft grip (1)
and rotate the collet until the shaft grip
locks the shaft (see Fig. 5). The flexible
shaft grip will return to its normal position
when not being held in the lock position.
NOTES:
a) Do not attempt to loosen or tighten the
collet without locking the shaft as noted
above. Damage to the flexible shaft will
result.
b) Do not over tighten collet nut.
WARNING:
When using the flexible
shaft, only hold the shaft by the grip. Do
not force the cutting accessory so as to
avoid damaging the flexible shaft.
