Changing the Collet
he 1/8" collet is used with 1/8" diameter Zip®
ts and the 1/4" collet is used with 1/4" diameter
p® Bits. To change collets, first remove the Zip
t. Continue to loosen and unscrew the collet nut
ntil you can remove it from the tool. Remove the
ollet and replace it with the other. (Each collet is
ouble-ended, and either end is acceptable to
se.) By hand, re-tighten the collet nut around the
ollet in a clockwise direction. You are now ready
insert a new Zip Bit as instructed in step 1 (see
ext page.)

DURING STORAGE of your

Rebel TM Operating Instructions
Disconnect the plug from the

power source before making
any assembly, adjustments or changing acces-
sories. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
STEP 1: INSTALLING Zip® BITS
The Zip Bits are held by a collet system. At the
time your tool was assembled, the 1/8" collet
(used for 1/8" Zip Bits) was installed for your con-
venience. The 1/4" collet (used for 1/4" Zip Bits)
is located in the Zip Bit package with your tool.
Select the appropriate Zip Bit for your cutting sur-
face and change the collet if necessary to match
the Zip Bit size (See Changing the Collet direc-
tions on page 6.)
Only use Roto Zip Tool Corporation Zip Bits
with your Rebel.
Identify the different parts of your Zip Bits.
The Zip Bit flutes are sharp

and should be handled with
caution.
Step 1
To insert a Zip Bit into the tool, first remove the
standard equipment wrench and locate the shaft
lock button. Depress and hold down the shaft
lock button with one hand and at the same time
loosen the collet nut with the other hand by turn-
ing it counter-clockwise with the wrench for a
couple rotations. Remove the old Zip Bit (if there
is one), insert shank of Zip Bit into the collet so
that 1/16" to 1/8" of smooth shank remains visible
above the collet.
Do not allow the flutes/cutting

!
edges of the Zip Bit to fall into
the collet, and do not tighten the collet around the
flutes; doing so will result in decreased Zip Bit life.
After properly placing the Zip Bit into the collet,
depress the shaft lock button and simultaneous-
ly tighten the collet nut in a clockwise direction
first by hand and then with the wrench until bit is
held securely.
STEP 2: ADJUSTING THE AIR DIVERTER
Step 2
Always make sure tool is OFF ("0" position)
before making any adjustments to the air diverter
vents.
The exhaust air diverter vent redirects cooling air
toward the base plate to help remove debris that
may gather in the base plate while cutting.
To open the diverter vent so air pushes towards
the cutting surface, slide the air diverter lever
toward the handle. To close the vent, slide the
lever away from the handle.
STEP 3: ADJUSTING THE DEPTH
GUIDE BEFORE MAKING A CUT
The Rebel is designed to cut materials up to 1"
thick. Use the depth guide to adjust to the depth
of the surface you are cutting. The depth guide
assembly consists of the depth guide and locking
lever, and the adjustable base plate and locking
screw.
Step 3
Locate the base plate and its locking screw.
Using the end of the standard wrench, loosen
(counter-clockwise) the screw enough to enable
the base plate to slide up or down to the desired
depth of cut. For best performance, set the base
plate so the Zip Bit protrudes approximately 1/8"
beyond the material being cut. For example, to
cut a piece of 1/2" thick plywood, set the base
plate so the Zip Bit protrudes 5/8" below the base
plate, as shown here. Re-tighten the screw in a
clockwise direction.
