COLLETS — Four different size collets (see
illustration), to accommodate different shank
sizes, are available for your Cordless 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.
To change accessories, turn tool off, slide
shaft lock button toward nose of tool, and turn
collet nut counter-clockwise (approximately
three turns). 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.
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 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 Stylus
and run the 415 Dressing Stone lightly against
the revolving wheel point. This removes high
spots and trues up the wheel point for good
balance.
