WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and
turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may result. Always lock off trigger switch and
disconnect tool from power source when changing accessories.
WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. A loose bit may eject from tool causing possible
personal injury
To insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps.
1. Turn tool off and remove battery pack.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve
counterclockwise far enough to accept the desired accessory.
3. Insert the accessory about 3/4″ (19 mm) into the chuck 4 and tighten securely by grasping and rotating the
chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the other. When the chuck is nearly tightened
you will hear a clicking sound. After 12-14 clicks the chuck is securely tightened around the accessory. Your
tool is equipped with an automatic spindle lock mechanism. This allows you to open and close the chuck with
one hand.
Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for maximum tightness. To
release the accessory, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
