Action
1
Remove plastic coating on cutting bit, if applicable .
2
Press on the spindle locking button (1) . Rotate the collet
nut (2) until the spindle locking button clicks into place . This
prevents the spindle from turning .
3
Press down on the spindle locking button, and use the
Ø 16mm (Ø 5/8”) collet wrench (3) to turn the collet nut
counter-clockwise . Loosen the collet nut several turns .
4
Remove existing bit if one is already in the collet .
5
Insert the new cutting bit (4) fully into the collet, then pull
it back between 1mm (1/32”) and 3mm (1/8”) to create an
air space between the motor shaft and the bit . This helps
protect the bit from overheating .
Note:
If the shank of the bit being installed is a different size
to the bit being removed, install the correct collet . Refer to
