PROPER CARE OF CUTTERS
Get faster and more accurate cutting results by keeping
cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and
gum from cutters after each use.
A cutter sharpening kit {Item No. 9-66501) is available from
Sears Retail Stores.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the
cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure
when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the clearance
angle the same as originally ground.
PROPER CARE OF COLLET
From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean your
collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet nut from
collet and clean the dust and chips that have collected. Then
return collet nut to its original position.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
