WARNING:
If you are changing a cutter
immediately after use, be careful not to touch the
collet nut, cutter, or coltet with your hands or
fingers. They will get burned because of the heat
buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench
provided.
•
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 6.4 mm (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 coltet nut securely by turning clock-
wise 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.
