REMOVNG OR INSTALLING CUTTING TOOLS IS ALWAYS DONE WITH THE MACHINE OFF!!! Make sure that there is
enough room between the quill and workpiece/vice/table (8”-12”) to easily remove/insert the cutting tool and collet.
To remove a tool from a machine WITH a power drawbar installed, move the quill to the highest position and lock it in
place with the quill lock. Hold whatever is in the collet (endmill, drill chuck, etc.) then press and hold the green button
and the red “OUT” button simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on the power drawbar box. This will release the collet and
cutter from the spindle. Hold on to both as you remove them. If you do not hold on to the collet and cutter, they will fall
out and can be damaged.
In order to install a collet and cutter, move the quill to the highest position and lock it in place with the quill lock. Place
the desired milling cutter (or drill chuck) in a collet of the correct diameter. Insert the collet into the spindle. Ensure that
the key way on the collet mates properly with the key in the spindle and is fully inserted. While holding the tool with one
hand, press and hold the green button and the red “IN” button simultaneously (for 3 seconds) on the power drawbar
box.
