Switching accessories on your Hi-Spec DM-170 Rotary Tool Kit is straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Safety First: Always unplug the rotary tool before changing any accessories to prevent accidental starts.
- Locate the Collet: Find the collet at the front of the tool. The collet secures the accessories.
- Choose the Right Collet: Select the correct collet size (1.5mm, 2.3mm, or 3.2mm) for your accessory. The collet size must match the accessory's shank diameter.
- Insert the Collet: Insert the collet into the chuck, aligning the flat sides of the collet with the flat sides of the chuck. Push it in until it's fully seated.
- Select Your Accessory: Choose the accessory you need, like a sanding band or grinding stone.
- Insert and Secure the Accessory: Place the accessory into the collet and tighten the collet nut clockwise to secure it. Ensure the accessory is firmly held.
- Removing an Accessory: To remove an accessory, loosen the collet nut by turning it counterclockwise. Then, remove the accessory from the collet.
- Repeat as Needed: Repeat these steps for each accessory change, making sure the collet is properly inserted and tightened.
Always prioritize safety when changing accessories and using your rotary tool. Consult the Hi-Spec DM-170's owner's manual for additional safety information and operational instructions.
