shank size of the accessory you plan to
use. Never force a larger diameter shank
into a collet.
COLLET IDENTIFICATION CHART
Collet sizes can be identified by the rings
on the back end of collet.
1/32" Collet has one (1) ring.
1/16" Collet has two (2) rings.
3/32" Collet has three (3) rings.
1/8"
Collet has no rings (Included in
most tool kits on the tool).
Note: Most rotary tool kits do not
include all four collets sizes.
Fixing Stuck Collets
It is possible for a collet to get stuck
within the collet nut especially 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 (Fig. 6). 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 balance.
The hanger is provided for the use of
hanging your tool while using the flex-
shaft or for storage. If you do not use
the hanger, snap it back into place so it
will be out of the way while the tool is in
use.
