the air flow and causes the motor to overheat

wrench to loosen the collet nut if necessary
Change accessories by inserting the new one
into tl_e collet as far as possible to minimize
runout and unbalance. With the shaft lock
engaged, finger tighten the coflet nut until the
accessory shank is gripped by the co!let Avoid
excessive tightening of the collet nut The
collet system is a superior method of seeudng
accessoi3es
COLLETS _ Two different size coliets (see

sizes, are available for your Rotary Tool, To
instatl a different cofiet, remove the cotlet nut
and remove the old colleL Insert the unslotted
end of the coltet in the hole in the end of the
tool shaft,, Replace coIIet nut on the shaft.

BALANCING ACCESSORIES -- For
precision work, it is important that all
accessories be in good ba;ance (much the
same as the tires on your automobile} To true
up or balance an accessory, slightly loosen
collet nut and give the accessory or collat a 1/4
turn. Retighten coflet nut and nJn the Rotary
Tool. You should be able to teff by the sound
and feel if your accessory is running m
balance. Continue adjusting in this fashion
until best balance is achieved To maintain
balance on abrasive wheel points, before each
use, with the wheel point secured in the co]let,
turn on the Rotary Tool and run the Dressing
Stone lightly against the revolving wheel point
This removes high spots and trues up the
wheel point for good balance
Do not use grinding
wheels over 1" in dia-
meter. Rotary Tool's high speed can cause
larger wheels to fly apart and could cause
injury,
SAFETY -- Protect your eyes when grinding
or routing with the Rotary Toof .always wear
an approved type of safety glasses
Remember, your new Sears Rotary Tool is the
finest power tool of its kind But its
performance is only as good as the
accessories with which it is used. We
recommend only Sears accessories be used.
Use of any other accessories may create a
hazard We hope you'll enjoy many years of
trouble free pleasure from your Sears
