WARNING
CHUCK KEY & STORAGE AREA
Your tool is equipped with a chuck key that is
conveniently located on the cord protector
where it is always handy and unlikely to get lost
or misplaced (Fig. 1).
INSERTING BIT
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the
bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit
as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close
the jaws by hand. This positions the bit
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten chuck, insert key into each of the
three key holes in succession and tighten
clockwise firmly. The chuck can be released by
using one hole only (Fig. 2).
