4.If you are using a cutting tool and collet, insert the cutting tool into the collet, then insert the collet up into the spindle taper, making sure the slot in the collet lines up with the pin in the spindle.
if you are using a cutting tool that installs directly into the spindle, insert the tool into the spindle taper, making sure the slot in the tool lines up with the pin in the spindle.

6.Hand thread the drawbar into the tooling until the tooling draws up into the spindle taper.
7.Use the included spindle pin to prevent the spindle from turning while you use an 8mm wrench to tighten the drawbar.

NOTICE
The Model G0704 drawbar will extract the arbor from the spindle. Once the arbor or collet has broken free from the spindle taper, be sure to properly support it while continuing to loosen the drawbar. Failure to properly support the arbor or collet while loosening the drawbar will result in the arbor or collet falling out of the spindle, causing damage to machine components.
5.protect the table surface with a piece of cardboard and hold the cutter/tool with a shop towel to prevent it from falling out of the collet. Continue loosening the drawbar until the collet is freed from the spindle.
