===Change a tool===
Changing a tool manually involves releasing the collet, explained in the Power Up procedure<br>
Once you have the collet, use the collet wrenches to open the jaws<br>
[[File:Release the Tool holder.jpg|thumb|center|Use the wrenches to release the cutting tool ]]
Sometimes, the tool bit will not release from the collet<br>
Use the Tool holder bit extractor, stored in a ziplock bag<br>
[[File:Tool holder bit extractor.jpg|thumb|center|Parts used to extract a stubborn bit: pipe, wrench, and rod]]
Once the top collet nut has been removed, place the collet in the aluminum pipe, and the brass rod into the collet, resting on the captured bit. Place the assembly in the large woodworking vise located mid-shop. Slowly turn the vise to gently release the bit. Have your hand ready to catch the assembly when the bit releases!
