For best results, be sure to balance each accessory in the collet. Your tool’s high
RPM makes imbalances easily detectable as a wobble while the tool is running. To
balance an accessory:
1. Stop the tool.
2. Loosen the collet nut.
3. Rotate the accessory 1/4 turn.
4. Tighten the collet.
5. Run the tool.
6. Continue adjusting as needed. You will hear and feel when the accessory is
properly balanced.
