MAINTENANCE
PROPER CARE OF COLLET
From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean your
collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet nut from
collet and clean the dust and chips that have collected. Then
return collet nut to its original position. DO NOT tighten collet
nut on collet without a cutter installed.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
PROPER CARE OF CUTTERS
Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters
clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and gum
from cutters after each use.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the
cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure
when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the clearance
angle the same as originally ground.
