A collet is an interchangeable slotted cylinder

inserted tightly into the interior of a handpiece to

hold a bur or other rotary accessory. The diameter

size of the collet must match the diameter of the

accessory’s shank.

General Directions: Be sure to use the correct

shank size. The correct shank will fit snugly inside

the collet. Caution: Never tighten a collet unless

an accessory has been inserted. Tightening an

empty collet or inserting an accessory which is too

small or too large may damage the collet.

To change a collet: slide back the chuck guard and

use one wrench to hold the spindle and the other to

unscrew the chuck nut by turning counterclock-

wise. Remove chuck nut to expose collet and pull

place and tighten chuck nut with wrenches.

To insert accessory: insert shank as far as possible

into the collet. Tighten chuck nut. Test for a secure

hold by pulling on accessory. Remove wrenches.

To release an accessory, follow the same steps.

Accessories can be released when chuck nut is

loosened. If accessory does not run true, loosen
