REPLACING THE COLLET
CAUTION
When installing the collet into the collet nut, be sure to fully engage the latch inside the
collet nut to the groove on the collets outer diameter area. It is very important to note that
if the collet is attached without being engaged with the latch of the collet nut, the collet will
stick inside the spindle taper, and this may cause damage to the collet and or the spindle.
① Remove the grindstone according to the section " 7. REPLACING THE GRINDSTONE "
procedure above and remove collet nut assembly (Fig. 3).
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. 4).
③ To install the collet, hold the collet at a slight angle, and insert it into the collet nut (Fig. 5).
Press the collet in the collet nut by positioning the collet in the collet nut and pressing down on flat
surface (Fig. 4).
Be sure to fully engage the latch inside the collet nut into the groove on the collet's outer
circumference area (Fig. 6).
