Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or removing bits. Select the proper style and size bit for the job.
This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip strengths on the bit.
1. To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck jaws and lift it about 1/16” off of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far enough for the chuck jaws to grip the hex of the bit.
2. To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve can not be rotated any further.
3. To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the coun- terclockwise direction.
NOTE: A ratcheting sound may be heard when the
chuck is opened or closed. This noise is part of the
locking feature, and does not indicate a problem | |||||
with the chuck’s operation. |
