INSERTING/REMOVING ACCESSORIES
Always unplug rotary tool before changing accessories, changing collets or servicing. The tool could start unexpectedly, causing serious injury.
TO LOOSEN THE COLLET NUT:
1.Press the shaft lock button. Rotate the shaft manually until the lock engages and prevents further rotation.
Do not attempt to engage the shaft lock while the tool is running.
2.If the collet nut has a hexagonal shape, use a wrench to loosen the collet nut by turning in the direction of the arrow labeled L in the illustration. The collet nut must be loose in order to insert or remove accessories.
3.Remove the old accessory (if any) and install the new accessory, being sure to push it as far as possible into the collet.
4.Tighten the collet nut by hand until snug.
5.Finish tightening the collet by turning the wrench in the direction of the arrow labeled T in the illustration. Do not overtighten.
COLLET SIZES
Your rotary tool kit may have multiple collets to accommodate different accessories with varying shank sizes.
TO CHANGE A COLLET:
1.Loosen the collet nut as described above, then remove the collet nut.
2.Remove the old collet.
3.Insert the loose collet.
4.Tighten the collet nut as described above.
Each collet has a series of rings on its shank that identify its size.
•1/32” – one (1) ring
•1/16” – two (2) rings
•3/32” – three (3) rings
•1/8” – no rings
BALANCING
For best results, be sure to balance each accessory in the collet. Your tool’s high RPM makes imbalances easily detectable as a wobble while the tool is running. To balance an accessory:
1.Stop the tool.
2.Loosen the collet nut.
3.Rotate the accessory 1/4 turn.
4.Tighten the collet.
5.Run the tool.
6.Continue adjusting as needed. You will hear and feel when the accessory is properly balanced.
