Installing or removing wheel point
► Fig.4: 1. Wrench 19 2. Wrench 13 3. Collet nut
Loosen the collet nut and insert the wheel point into the
collet nut. Use the smaller wrench to hold the spindle
and the larger one to tighten the collet nut securely.
The wheel point should not be mounted more than 10
mm from the collet nut. Exceeding this distance could
cause vibration or a broken shaft.
To remove the wheel point, follow the installation proce-
dure in reverse.
10 mm (3/8") MAX.
CAUTION:
• Use the correct size collet cone for the wheel
point which you intend to use.

OPERATION

► Fig.5
Turn the tool on without the wheel point making any
contact with the workpiece and wait until the wheel point
attains full speed. Then apply the wheel point to the
workpiece gently. To obtain a good finish, move the tool
in the leftward direction slowly.
CAUTION:
• Apply light pressure on the tool. Excessive
pressure on the tool will only cause a poor finish
and overloading of the motor.

unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
