WARNING!
TOOL ASSEMBLY
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
tool before attaching or removing accessories
or making adjustments. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
Installing Collets
MILWAUKEE Die Grinders feature a special collet and collet nut. The
collet must be attached to the collet nut before installing the collet asembly
to the tool. Be sure that the collet size matches the size of the mounted
wheel mandrel you will use, otherwise the collet may break.
1. To assemble, place collet on an even surface, take nut and place
over collet (Fig. 1).
2. Position nut squarely over collet (Fig. 2).

3. Snap nut and collet together by firmly applying downward pressure
onto assembly with the palm of hand (Fig. 3).
4. To disassemble collet from nut, hold nut firmly with one hand and
press the collet to one side with the other hand (Fig. 4).

Collet
1. Remove dust and debris from the collet body before inserting grind-
ing points.
2. Insert the collet with the collet nut attached into the collet body.
Thread the collet nut onto the spindle but do not tighten it yet.
3. Clean the grinding point mandrel, then insert it a minimum of
3/4" into the collet. The mandrel will overhang the collet and the
grinding point about 1/2".
4. Hold the spindle shaft steady with a 1/2" open end wrench and
securely tighten the collet nut with an 11/16" open end wrench.
5. Reverse the procedure when removing the grinding point.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always securely
tighten the collet to the grinders and clean man-
drels before inserting them into the collet. Other-
wise the high-speed rotation of the tool could
force the grinding point to fly out of the collet.
