• Place your trimmer upside down on a workbench in
order to gain easy access to spindle and collet nut.

the spindle flats. This will hold the spindle stationary.

the collet nut. Rotate wrench counterclockwise to loosen
collet nut. See Figure 2.

careful not to touch the collet nut, cutter, orcoUet with your
hands or fingers. They will get burned because of the heat
buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
I
• If installing cutter for the first time, it can be installed
once collet nut is loose. If changing cutters, cutter will
easily slip from collet after loosening collet nut.
• The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit
cutters with 1/4 in. diameter shanks.
• With your trimmer still upside down on a workbench,
insert shank of cutter into collet. The shank of your cutter
should be close to but not touching bottom of collet. This
allows for expansion when the cutter gets hot.
• Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with
the wrench provided. See Figure 2.
WARNING:
If collet nut is not tightened securely, cutter may come out
during use, causing serious personal injury.
