Assembly

!WARNING Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Make certain that the collet nut is securely tightened before turning the tool on.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE

DEPTH GUIDE ASSEMBLy

The depth guide assembly consists of the depth guide, locking screw and bracket.

In order to remove the depth guide from the tool, release the locking lever and pull the entire assembly straight off of the tool. To reattach the assembly, fully replace the guide onto the tool collar and lock the clamp lever (Fig. 1).

INSTALLING BITS

The bits are held by a collet system. Use either the 1/8" (.125"), 1/4" (.250") or 5/32" (.156") collet depending on the size of the bit shank.

!WARNING The bit flutes are sharp and should be handled with

caution.

Depress and hold the shaft-lock in and rotate the collet nut and shaft until the shaft-lock engages and holds the shaft.

To prevent damage to tool. Never use the shaft lock as a

braking devise to stop the tool from rotating.

Use the standard equipment wrench to loosen nut (counter-clockwise) (Fig. 2). Remove the old bit (if there is one) insert the new bit as far in as possible, but not so far that the bit flutes engage the collet (leave

approximately 1/8" of shank exposed) Re-engage the shaft-lock and tighten the nut (clockwise) by hand and then with the wrench until bit is held securely.

CHANGING THE COLLET

The 1/8" collet is used with 1/8" diameter bits, the 1/4" collet is used with 1/4" diameter bits and the 5/32" collet is used with 5/32" diameter bits. To change collets, first remove the bit. Continue to loosen and unscrew the collet nut until you can remove it from the tool. Remove the collet and replace it with the other (Fig. 3). (Each collet is double-ended, and either end is acceptable to use.) By hand, re-tighten the collet nut around the collet in a clockwise direction. You are now ready to insert a new bit as instructed in Installing Bits (Fig. 2).
