KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4.
A keyless chuck has been provided with your drill to allow for
easy installation and removal of bits. As the name implies,
you can hand tighten or release drill bits in the chuck jaws.
Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand. Rotate
the chuck body with your other hand. The arrows on the
chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck body in
order to GRIP (tighten) or RELEASE (unlock) the drill bit.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use the
power of the drill to tighten chuck jaws on drill bit. Chuck
body could slip in your hand or your hand could slip and
come in contact with rotating drill bit. This could cause
an accident resulting in serious personal injury.
INSTALLING BITS
Place the direction of rotation selector in center position.
This will turn off the power to your drill.
Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the
opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to
use. Also, raise the front of your drill slightly to keep the
bit from falling out of the chuck jaws.
Insert your drill bit into the chuck the full length of the
jaws.
See Figure 5.
Tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. To tighten, grasp
and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand, while
rotating the chuck body with your other hand.
Note: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow
marked GRIP to tighten the chuck jaws. DO NOT use a
wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
WARNING:
Do not insert drill bit into chuck jaws and tighten as shown
in figure 6. This could cause drill bit to be thrown from
drill resulting in possible serious personal injury or
damage to the chuck.
