These images shown the difference before and after five- minute cleaning.
Make sure to clean the tapered surface inside the shaft and the front face. The
tapered surface is critical.
Clean both outside and inside of collets. Dirt on the outside can also cause the tools
to “walk” if the collet cannot clamp properly.
11. Insert the collet into the spindle.
12. Use the wrench to hold the spindle housing in place and use the collet tool to tighten
the collet. Be sure to use your fingertips to turn the tool to avoid using too much
torque.
13. Insert the Nozzle Cleaning Brush in the small holes on the spindle cap at an angle.
This will push any ceramic build-up out of the hole.
14. Clean the cap with water and soft brush.
