COLLET NUT — To loosen, first press shaft
lock button and rotate the shaft by hand until
the lock engages the shaft preventing further
rotation.
Do not engage lock while
the Rotary Tool is running.
With the shaft lock engaged use the collet
wrench to loosen the collet nut if necessary.
The collet nut must be loosely threaded on
when inserting an accessory. Change
accessories by inserting the new one into the
collet as far as possible to minimize runout and
unbalance. With the shaft lock engaged, finger
tighten the collet nut until the accessory shank
is gripped by the collet. Avoid excessive
tightening of the collet nut when there is no
bit inserted.
EZ TWIST™ INTEGRATED
WRENCH/NOSE CAP
(Model 3000 only)
The nose cap of your tool has an integrated
wrench allowing you to loosen and tighten the
collet nut without the use of the standard collet
wrench. Unscrew the nose cap from the tool,
line-up steel insert on inside of cap with collet
nut. With the shaft lock engaged twist nose
cap clockwise to tighten, and counter-
clockwise to loosen.

COLLETS — Four different size collets (see
illus tration), to accommodate different shank
sizes, are avail able for your Rotary Tool. To install a different collet, remove the collet nut
and remove the old collet. Insert the unslotted
end of the collet in the hole in the end of the
tool shaft. Replace collet nut on the shaft.
Always use the collet which
matches the shank size of
the accessory you plan to use. Never force
a larger diameter shank into a collet.
Note: Most rotary tool kits do not include all
four collets sizes.
