This tool includes a pre-installed 1/4" collet,

Spindle 3.
2. Loosen the Collet Nut 2 with the included
17 mm Wrench 14.

nut assembly.
4. Ensure that the spindle threads are clean
and the collet is properly fitted in the Col-
let Nut 2.
5. By hand, screw the new collet assembly
onto the Spindle 3.
