8 . REPLACING THE COLLET
CAUTION
When installing the collet in the collet nut, make sure to fully engage the latch inside the collet nut to the groove on
the collet outer circumference area. In addition, remember that if the collet is attached without being engaged with the
latch of the collet nut, the collet cannot be removed and this may cause damage to the collet or the spindle.
① Remove the tool according to the section 7. "CHANGING THE TOOL" procedure above and remove collet nut assembly (Fig. 21).
② The collet and collet nut are secured by a groove in the collet and a flange in the collet nut. To remove the collet hold the collet
nut in one hand and push diagonally down on the collet. The collet should be released (Fig. 22).
③ To install the collet, hold the collet at a slight angle, and insert it into the collet nut (Fig. 23).
Press the collet in the collet nut by positioning the collet in the collet nut and pressing down on flat surface (Fig. 22).
Be sure to fully engage the latch inside the collet nut into the groove on the collet outer circumference area (Fig. 24).
