7. Clean collet nut and collet, and assemble
to the spindle in the offset base. DO NOT
TIGHTEN COLLET NUT AT THIS TIME.
Tightening the collet nut without a bit installed
in the collet is likely to damage the collet.
8. Position sub-base to base housing and
secure with the three screws that were
removed in step 3.
TO INSTALL & REMOVE BIT
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM
POWER SOURCE.
1. Insert long portion of hex wrench
(furnished) through spindle lock hole (see Fig.
10) so that wrench protrudes from both sides
of base housing. It may be necessary to rotate
spindle by hand to align hole in spindle with
holes in housing.
2. Clean and insert bit shank into
collet. Tighten collet nut securely
with collet wrench.
NEVER TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN
COLLET NUT WITH SPINDLE LOCK
ENGAGED IN MOTOR SHAFT. TO
DO SO MAY DAMAGE DRIVE BELT.
3. To remove bit, reverse above
procedure. If bit does not remove
easily, tap the bit shank with wrench
to release bit.
NEVER TIGHTEN COLLET
WITHOUT BIT INSERTED, TO DO
SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
COLLET.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
1. Loosen bit in collet (See TO INSTALL & REMOVE BIT).
2. Position hex wrench (furnished) to depth adjusting screw (See Fig.11).
3. Hold spindle with fingers and apply light upward pressure on bit (to
maintain contact between bit shank and adjusting screw) while turning hex
wrench to adjust bit exposure.
Turn screw counter-clockwise to
increase exposure; turn screw
clockwise to decrease exposure.
4. When using long shank bits:
The distance from the bottom of
the sub-base to the collet may be
increased (approximately
3
/16") by
turning the sub-base over (See
Fig.12):
A. Remove three sub-base
mounting screws.
B. Turn sub-base over and
re-attach using screws
removed in step A.
