KEYLESS CHUCK -- The keyless chuck holds various accessories with shank sizes 1/32" to !/8" and is intended for light duty accessories such as drill bits, sanding drums, polishing accessories, wire and bristle brushes and cut-off wheels. The keyless chuck allows you to change accessories frequently, quickly and easily. There are some applications which can generate high forces on the bit or if you are unable to generate finger tightening pressure sufficient to secure the bit you must use the supplied wrench to assist in securing the bit.

Attaching the Keyless Chuck and

Accessory Bit

Read and understand the manual for use of the

keyless chuck with the tool. Insert and

securely tighten the shank of the accessory well within the jaws of the

chuck. If an accessory is not properly

gripped within the jaws of a chuck it may loosen and fly out during use possibly

striking you or bystanders.

To replace or attach the keyless chuck accessory to your MultiPro rotary tool, unplug the tool and engage the shaft lock button then remove the collet and collet nut.

Thread the keyless chuck on the end of the shaft. Engage the shaft lock button again,

insert the accessory shank into the chuck and finger tighten until the shank is secure.

For small size drill bits, close the chuck to the point where the bit will just fit in; then tighten securely. This helps center the bit in the keyless chuck correctly. In some high force applications such as removing metal, tile cutting or routing, the bit (tungsten carbide cutters, high speed cutters, router bits or tile cutters) and chuck will become hot if overloaded for extended periods of time. Overloading the chuck may cause the bit to loosen and slip. It is recommended

that in these types of applications that the bit be secured in the chuck with the supplied

wrench and work in intervals to allow cooling of the bit and chuck. If the bit slips the tool will begin to vibrate excessively, this is an indication that you should shut the tool off, re-position and tighten the bit then allow the tool to run no-load for a few minutes to cool.

The chuck should be cleaned occasionally to keep it functioning properly. Simply remove the chuck from the tool and gently tap the tip of the chuck on a fat surface to remove any loose debris. In some applications the keyless chuck may tighten up during use. If this occurs, gently loosen using the wrench included in your rotary tool kit.
