FIXING STUCK COLLETS
It is possible for a collet to get stuck within the collet nut especial-
ly if a collet nut is tightened onto the tool without a bit in place. If
this happens, the collet can be removed from the collet nut by
pushing the shank of an accessory into the hole in the collet nut.
This should cause the collet to pop out of the collet nut.
Balancing Accessories
For precision work, it is important that all accessories be in good
balance (much the same as the tires on your automobile). To true
up or balance an accessory, slightly loosen collet nut and give the
accessory or collet a 1/4 turn. Re tighten collet nut and run the
Rotary Tool. You should be able to tell by the sound and feel if
your accessory is running in balance. Continue adjusting in this
fashion until best balance is achieved. To maintain balance on
abrasive wheel points, before each use, with the wheel point
secured in the collet, turn on the Rotary Tool and run the 415
Dressing Stone lightly against the revolving wheel point. This
removes high spots and trues up the wheel point for good bal-
ance.
