3.Turn the Chuck Key clockwise to tighten the Chuck on the bit.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1.Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction.

2.Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to al- low free movement while working.

3.Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to pre- vent movement while working.

4.There must not be hazardous ob- jects, such as utility lines or foreign objects, nearby that will present a hazard while working.
