place while turning the collet nut (U) counterclockwise with the
wrench provided.
To loosen using the “manual ratchet” method:

To change collet sizes, unscrew the collet assembly as described
above. Install the desired collet by reversing the procedure. The collet
and the collet nut are connected. Do not attempt to remove the collet
from the collet nut.

base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp without
excessive force or if the motor moves in the base after clamping.
To adjust the locking lever’s clamping force:
1. Open the locking lever (I).
