to lock into place.

Screw the tool hanger into the top of the clamp.

NOTE: When using the flex shaft, hang the rotary tool from
the tool hanger hook using the hook located on the back of
the rotary tool.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
the spindle lock.

OPERATING THE FLEX SHAFT
