Changing the Collet
The collet chuck (F) comes installed with an ER20 6-5mm collet.
To install other collet sizes follow the instructions below.
1. Locate the 'C' Spanner (I) and push rod (B). Insert the push
rod into the pre-drilled hole in the spindle collar, introduce the
'C' spanner (I) over the collet check (F) until the locating pin
engages into one of the elongated holes around the collet
chuck (F). While holding the push rod in place rotate the 'C'
spanner anticlockwise to loosen the collet chuck, see fig 25.
