KEYLESSCHUCK

COLLET --To loosen, first press shaft lock button and rotate the shaft by hand until the

lock engages the shaft preventing further rotation.

Do not engage lock while the Rotary Tool is running.

With the shaft lock engaged use the collet wrench to loosen the collet nut if necessary. Change accessories by inserting the new one into the collet as far as possible to minimize runout and unbalance. With the shaft lock engaged, finger tighten the collet nut until the accessory shank is gripped by the collet. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut. The collet system is a superior method of securing accessories.

COLLETS -- Two different size collets (see illustration), to accommodate different shank sizes, are available for your Rotary Tool. To install a different collet, remove the collet nut and remove the old collet. Insert the unslotted end of the collet in the hole in the end of the tool shaft. Replace collet nut on the shaft. Always use the collet which matches the shank size of the accessory

you plan to use. Never force a larger diameter shank into a collet.

BALANCING ACCESSORIES --For

precision work, it is important that all accessories be in good balance (much the same as the tires on your automobile). To true up or balance an accessory, slightly loosen collet nut and give the accessory Or

collet a 1/4 turn. Retighten collet nut and run the Rotary Tool. You should be able to tell by the sound and feel if your accessory is running in balance. Continue adjusting in this fashion until best balance is achieved. To maintain balance on abrasive wheel points, before each use, with the wheel point secured in the collet, turn on the Rotary Tool and run the Dressing Stone lightly against the revolving wheel point. This removes high

spots and trues up the wheel point for good balance.

The hanger is provided for the use of hanging your tool while using the flex-shaft or for storage. If you do not use the hanger, remove it from the tool and snap it back into place underneath the cord so it will be out of the way while the tool is in use.

Remember, your new Craftsman Rotary Tool is the finest power tool of its kind. But its

performance is only as good as the accessories with which it is used.

We recommend only Craftsman

accessories be used. Use of any other accessories may create a hazard. We hope you'll enjoy many years of trouble free

pleasure from your Sears Craftsman Rotary Power Toot.
