Flex At t ac hment

Your rotary tool kit includes

a flex attachment and

hanger rod that is useful for

extra-delicate work and/or

when working in close

spaces. When using the

flex attachment, be sure

not to bend it tighter than a

6-inch radius at any point

as this could cause

overheating and a possible

burn hazard. Overly tight

bends will also reduce the

attachment life.

collet and the collet nut are already installed
on the rotary tool.

Remove the collet nut and the
collet from the rotary tool

Remove the housing cap from
the rotary tool. This is the black
plastic ring that screws onto the
rotary tool.

Replace the collet nut and collet
back onto the tool. Pull the drive
shaft out of the flex shaft core.

Insert the drive shaft into the
collet until it stops (about 1 inch)
Tighten the collet

Slide the overthrow nut assembly
over the housing and tighten. The
rotary tool with the flex attachment
is now ready for use.
