Removing the sander adaptor and installing the
collet chuck
1.Disconnect air line from tool.
2.Using the wrenches supplied with the tool, secure the output shaft with one of the wrenches. Loosen the sander adaptor with the other wrench. Remove the sander adaptor and store in a safe place for use at another time.
3.Thread the collet chuck supplied with the tool into the threaded hole vacated by the sander adaptor.
4.Tighten the base of the collet chuck with the two wrenches.
5.Loosen the collar of the chuck to allow the appropriate shank to be inserted (¼ in collet insert is used for ¼ in shanks, 6 mm collet insert is used for
6 mm shanks).
6.Insert shank completely into the collet and tighten with the two wrenches. An inadequately inserted shank could bend or break causing damage to the tool and work piece and possible injury to the operator or bystanders.
