CHUCK REMOVAL
See Figures 11, 12, and 13.
The chuck must be removed in order to use some accessories. To remove:
•Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in center position.
•Insert a 5/16 inch or larger allen wrench (hex key wrench) into the chuck of your drill and tighten the chuck jaws securely.
•Tap the allen wrench sharply with a mallet in a clockwise direction. See Figure 11. This will loosen the screw in the chuck for easy removal.

•Insert allen wrench into chuck and tighten chuck jaws securely. Tap allen wrench sharply with a mallet in a clockwise direction. This will tighten chuck on the spindle.
