OPERATION

INSTALLING/REMOVING CUTTERS (Continued)

7.To use cutters with 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) shank bits, the 1/2 in. (13 mm) collet assembly must be removed and replaced with the 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) collet assembly. Remove the 1/2 in. (13 mm) collet assembly by removing collet nut, loosening collet screw securing collet to motor shaft, then removing collet assembly.

NOTE: The collet screw has left hand threads and you will need a phillips screwdriver to loosen collet screw.

See Figure 4.

9.Insert shank of cutter into collet until shank bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to allow for expansion when the bit gets hot.

10.Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with the wrench provided. See Figure 3.
