1. To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve
in the counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to
strike the bottom of the chuck. Center
the bit in the chuck jaws and lift it about
1/16" off of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the
bit far enough for the chuck jaws to grip
the hex of the bit.
2. To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve
in the clockwise direction. The bit is se-
cure when the chuck makes a ratcheting
sound and the sleeve can not be rotated
any further.
3. To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the
counterclockwise direction.
NOTE: A ratcheting sound may be heard
when the chuck is opened or closed. This
noise is part of the locking feature, and
does not indicate a problem with the chuck's
operation.
