CHANGING THE COLLET
The 1/8" collet is used with 1/8" diameter
bits, the 1/4" collet is used with 1/4" diameter
bits and the 5/32" collet is used with 5/32"
diameter bits. To change collets, first
remove the bit. Continue to loosen and
unscrew the collet nut until you can remove it
from the tool. Remove the collet and replace
it with the other (Fig. 5). (Each collet is
double-ended, and either end is acceptable
to use.) By hand, re-tighten the collet nut
around the collet in a clockwise direction.
You are now ready to insert a new bit as
instructed in Installing Bits (Fig. 3 or 4).
