kornomaniac Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Dont know that model personally but you should be able to put a wrench on the 'endcap' which holds the bit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memnoch Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 This is how it looks without the collet nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Does it seem like it wedged back in real bad and are you unable to turn the bit at all? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 If the angle on the collet bevel points outward just hit the bit on something and it should break loose. If the collet bevel points inward you probably just need more pulling force to break it free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 If tapping it with a hammer and pulling the bit doesn't work. I've had to take a little grinder an notch a flat place on the bit and take a screw driver or cold chisel and hit it with a hammer in the horizontal notch.

Let u know how it went.Have you got it yet? Have you tried taking vise grips and trying to turn it? If there's a spindle lock button.

Memnoch Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Didn't have time to try it yesterday. Doesn't have a lock button. I'll just Probably Take it to a repair shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Put a wrench or second pair of vice grips on the flats of the shaft. That should give enough leverage to twist the bit free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrius Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 You need to place bit in vise and hit to collet with hammer or something similar. After few hit it will fall out. And use proper bit for this tool because I think it stuck of bad bit. If you have another two hand you can give pliers for one person to hold bit and then put wrench on assy and hit wrench with hammer to pull bit out. Sorry for my English, but I can`t write better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi again. Sorry for not replying. A lot of work. So problem solved. Went to the service shop and they got it out. Next time I will probably try to force it like u said. I was afraid cause it's a new tool and afraid I will brake something. The bit is the right size. Thanks again to all of you for the advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrius Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Maybe service guy told how it did that? Because I was working in power tools service for 4 years and I love do that with hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Maybe service guy told how it did that? Because I was working in power tools service for 4 years and I love do that with hammer Didn't ask but I'm convinced he used some force. The bit seemed undamaged so I'm grateful for that.Next time, I'll just use the force myself. It was the first time happening and I thought if it brakes even more why not have someone else to blame it on? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
