DANGER:
If you are changing an accessory immediately after

accessory with your hands or fingers. You will get burned
because of the heat build-up from cutting. Always use
the wrench provided.

BALANCING ACCESSORIES
For precision work, it is important that all accessories be
properly balanced. To balance an accessory, slightly loosen
the collet nut and give the accessory or collet a 1/4 in. turn.
You should be able to tell by the sound and feel if the acces-
sory is running in balance. Continue adjusting in this fashion
until the best balance is achieved. Replace accessories if
they become damaged or unbalanced.
