INSTALLING CUTTING BITS – Cont’d
4. Insert new cutting bit (4) into the collet.
!WARNING
Insert the bit all the way into the collet and then pull it back between 1/16” and 1/8”. This creates an air space between the motor shaft and the bit to help prevent overheating the bit.
Before tightening the collet on the bit, make sure the flutes (spiral portion) of the bit are completely visible outside the collet. Clamping the collet on the bit flutes will result in broken bits and possible injury.
5.When bit is properly placed in the collet, depress the shaft locking button and turn the collet nut clockwise by hand as far as possible.
6.Securely tighten collet nut using the wrench.
