Chuck Removal

MAINTENANCE

See Figures 10 - 12.

To remove the chuck:

nUnplug your drill.

WARNING:

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

nInsert a 8 mm (5/16 in.) or larger hex key into the chuck of your drill and tighten the chuck jaws securely.

nTap the hex key sharply with a mallet in a clockwise di- rection. See Figure 10. This will loosen the screw in the chuck for easy removal.

nOpen the chuck jaws and remove hex key. Remove the chuck screw by turning it in a clockwise direction.

See Figure 11.

NOTE: The chuck screw has left hand threads.

nInsert hex key into chuck and tighten chuck jaws se- curely. Tap sharply with a mallet in a counterclockwise direction. This will loosen the chuck on the spindle. It can now be unscrewed by hand. See Figure 12.
