QUICK-CHANGE COLLET
See Figure 3, page 15.
NOTE: The tool ships with a preinstalled collet that is
machined to precision tolerances to fit accessories
with 1/8 in. diameter shanks. When installed, the quick
change collet allows the user to change accessories
without tools and without removing the collet from the
shaft. The quick change collet is not compatible with
1/16" in. shanks.
OPERATION
To remove/install the quick change collet:
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Depress and hold the spindle lock button and rotate the
shaft by hand until the spindle lock engages the shaft,
preventing further rotation.
 With the spindle lock engaged, place the included 3/8 in.
wrench on the bottom threaded end of the quick-change
collet and turn counterclockwise to loosen. Continue
turning counterclockwise to remove the collet from the
tool.
 Remove the quick-change collet.
 To install, engage the spindle lock. Place the quick-
change collet on the shaft and begin threading on by
hand until there is resistance. Then use the included 3/8
in. wrench on the bottom threaded end of the collet and
rotate clockwise until tightly secured.
WARNING:
Always use the collet which matches the shank size of the
accessory you plan to use. Never force a large diameter
shank into a collet. The accessory should fit smoothly into
the collet, but you should be able to tighten the accessory
firmly and securely with the quick-change collet.
