OPERATION
INSTALLING/REMOVING CUTTERS (Continued)
7.To use cutters with 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) shank bits, the 1/2 in. (13 mm) collet assembly must be removed and replaced with the 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) collet assembly. Remove the 1/2 in. (13 mm) collet assembly by removing collet nut, loosening collet screw securing collet to motor shaft, then removing collet assembly.
NOTE: The collet screw has left hand threads and you will need a phillips screwdriver to loosen collet screw.
8.Replace with the 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) collet assembly, securely tightening collet screw in collet to motor shaft, then reassemble 1/2 in. (13 mm) collet nut.
See Figure 4.
9.Insert shank of cutter into collet until shank bottoms out, then pull it out 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to allow for expansion when the bit gets hot.
10.Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with the wrench provided. See Figure 3.
