Operating Instructions
Disengagement of the Flex Shaft
The flexible shaft may become disengaged if
the motor of your rotary tool is not elevated
higher than the working end of the Flex Shaft.
Collet Removal and Replacement
Four different size collets to accommodate
different shank sizes, are sold separately for
your Flex Shaft. To install a different collet,
remove the collet nut 2 and remove the old
collet 4. Insert the unslotted end of the collet in
the hole in the end of the Flex Shaft 8. Replace
collet nut on the shaft (Fig. A5).
Flexible Shaft Lubrication
The Flex Shaft should be lubricated after every
25-30 hours of use. To lubricate, unscrew the
Flex Shaft assembly from the motor housing.
Pull the center core out of the Flex Shaft
assembly. Wipe a very thin film automotive
wheel bearing grease on to the center core and
reinsert it back into the shaft. To prevent
damage to tool do not over grease shaft.
Too much grease will cause the unit to
overheat.
Reattach the Flex Shaft to the rotary tool.
