overhang to maintain high accuracy and safety.
RECOMMENDATION
①
Set the provided 12mm wrench on the spindle.
②
Place the provided 14mm wrench on the collet nut
and turn it counterclockwise to loosen the collet

the collet nut, but the tool will not release and
turning will become stiff. Keep turning through the
