See Figures 12, 13, and 14.

Whenever necessary to remove the chuck for replacement, etc., use the following procedure for chuck removal:

1.UNPLUG YOUR HAMMER DRILL.

WARNING:

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

2.Open chuck jaws. Insert a 5/16 inch or larger hex key wrench (allen wrench) into the chuck of your drill and tighten the chuck jaws securely.

3.Tap the hex key wrench sharply with a mallet in a clockwise direction. See Figure 12. This will loosen the chuck screw for removal.

4.Open the chuck jaws and remove hex key wrench. Remove the chuck screw by turning it in a clockwise direction. See Figure 13.

NOTE: The chuck screw has left hand threads.

5.Insert hex key wrench in chuck and tighten chuck jaws securely. Tap sharply with a mallet in a counterclock- wise direction. This will loosen the chuck on the spindle. It can now be unscrewed by hand. See Figure 14.
