CHUCK REMOVAL
See Figures 10, 11, and 12.
Whenever necessary to remove the chuck for replacement,
etc., use the following procedure for chuck removal:
1. UNPLUG YOUR DRILL.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your drill could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
2. Open chuck jaws. Insert a 5/16 inch or larger hex key
wrench (allen wrench) into the chuck of your drill and
tighten the chuck jaws securely.
3. Tap the hex key wrench sharply with a mallet in a
clockwise direction.
See Figure 10.
This will loosen the
chuck screw for removal.
4. Open the chuck jaws and remove hex key wrench.
Remove the chuck screw by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
See Figure 11.
NOTE: The chuck screw has left hand threads.
5. Insert hex key wrench in chuck and tighten chuck jaws
securely. Tap sharply with a mallet in a counterclock-
wise direction. This will loosen the chuck on the spindle.
It can now be unscrewed by hand.
See Figure 12.

develop a wobble. Also, the chuck screw may become loose

Failure to unplug your drill could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
