Unhappy Micro-pro Handpiece

Hi.
As new to this all I got me a Burnmaster Pro. But I don't know how to put the equipment in to tool.
I have lookedthrough the box for equipment to attach a burr and some equipment to tighten/loosening so I can do so. There is no instruction how to do.
What do I do?
Appreciate any help.

Happy New Year!

Steinar

Hi Sharon.

Sorry but here in Norway it is late New Years Eve!

I have looked at the site but I can't find any instructiion. And the book following has only a detailed part list. And the rest of the package has no manual with this detail. I can't see any equipment to use on the 3 sides nut holding the burr.
Strange with n equipment for this price.

Happy New Year.
Steinar

The Micro Pro handpiece has a ring just below the center point of the tool. You just twist it to unlock the collet and insert the burr. Twist it back the other way and it locks the collet.
Please send me a PM and furnish your e-mail address. I can scan the manual, if I can find it, and e-mail it to you. I would hate for you to have a new tool and not be able to use it on New Years Day.
I will look for the book, may not be until tomorrow.
Bob

Hi everyone.

Thanks for all the replies to my question. I have now got the info I asked for from Bob T. There has always to be a first time and now when the workdays starts again I will really dig into it.
I appreciate all and I also hope I can be able to see some carving when I leave in June for The States. I will be traveling From Houston to TN and WV. Then over to Albuaqurqe - up to SD and Fargo and finally to Red Wing are before I have to go home.

Best regards
Steinar from NOrway
