Collets; Locking Lever Adjustment; Centering The Subbase; Connecting To Power Source - DeWalt DWE6000 Instruction Manual

2. Clean and insert the bit shank into the collet until the end of
the shank bottoms. Then withdraw the bit approximately 1/16"
(1.6 mm).
3. Press and hold the spindle lock button (D). Tighten the collet nut
securely with the supplied 17 mm open-end wrench (V).
NOTE: As an alternative to the spindle lock button, a thin 10 mm
wrench can be used on the flats of the spindle (E).
To remove the bit, reverse the procedure. If the bit will not remove
easily, lightly tap the bit shank with a wrench.

Collets (Fig. 1)
NOTE: Never tighten the collet nut (N) without first installing a bit in
it. Tightening an empty collet nut, even by hand, can damage the
collet (M).
Locking Lever Adjustment (Fig. 2)
Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking lever (G).
Using excessive force may damage the base.
When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should not move in the
base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp without
excessive force or if the motor moves in the base after clamping.
ADJUSTING THE LOCKING LEVER'S CLAMPING FORCE
1. Open the locking lever (G).
2. Using a 2 mm hex wrench (not included) turn the locking lever
adjustment screw (L) in small increments.
Turning the screw clockwise tightens the lever, while turning the
screw counterclockwise loosens the lever.
Centering the Subbase (Fig. 1)
If you need to adjust, change, or replace the subbase, a centering tool
is recommended. Refer to Accessories. The centering tool consists
of a cone and a pin.
ADJUSTING THE SUBBASE
1. Loosen but do not remove the subbase screws (J) so the
D
subbase moves freely.
2. Insert the pin into the collet and tighten the collet nut.
3. Insert the motor into the base and clamp the locking lever on the
base.
4. Place a centering cone tool, available as an accessory at
additional cost, on the pin and lightly press down on the cone until
it stops. This will center the subbase.
5. While holding down on the cone, tighten the subbase screws (J).

Connecting To Power Source

CAUTION: Before connecting tool to power source, check to see
that the switch is in the "OFF" position. Also, check the power circuit
to see that it is the same as that shown on specification plate of the
tool.
Starting and Stopping the Motor
(Fig. 1, 6)
CAUTION: Before starting the tool, clear the work area of all
foreign objects. Also keep firm grip on tool to resist starting torque.
