INSTALLING BITS (Keyless models)

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 ! WARNING 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. 5). Remove the old bit (if there is one) insert the new bit as far in 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.
