direction. This will loosen the screw in the chuck for easy
removal.

unscrewed by hand.
TO RETIGHTEN A LOOSE CHUCK
The chuck may become loose on the spindle and develop a
wobble. Also, the chuck screw may become loose, causing
the chuck jaws to bind and prevent them from closing. To
tighten:
Unplug the drill.
Open the chuck jaws.
Insert the hex key into the chuck and tighten the chuck
jaws securely. Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet in
a clockwise direction. This will tighten the chuck on the
spindle.

direction.
