TO INSERT A DRILL BIT OR OTHER ACCESSORY
1. Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand and insert the
shank of the bit about 19 mm (3/4") into chuck. Tighten the
chuck collar by hand.
2. Place chuck key in each of the three holes, and tighten in
clockwise direction. It’s important to tighten chuck with all three
holes.
To release the bit, turn the chuck counterclockwise in just one hole,
then loosen the chuck by hand.
REMOVAL OF KEYED CHUCK (FIG. 4)
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key. Using a soft
hammer, strike the key sharply in the counterclockwise direction
when viewed from the front of the tool. This will loosen the chuck so
that it can be removed by hand.
KEYED CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 5)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Insert the shorter
end of a hex key and strike it in the clockwise direction with a soft
hammer.
