(2)Dismounting the bit

Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front), and then take out the bit, etc. (See Fig. 18)

NOTE: If the sleeve is tightened in a state where the clip of the keyless chuck is opened to a maximum limit, a click noise may occur. This is the noise that occurs when the loosening of the keyless chuck is prevented and is not a malfunction.

CAUTION:

When mounting a bit into the keyless chuck, tighten firmly. If the sleeve is not tight, the bit may slip or fall out, causing injury.

NOTE: Loosening stuck or hard to move sleeves.

Grasp the bit installed in the keyless chuck, in a vise or similar tool.

Set the cap position to “1-7” and turn the switch on. The motor then starts. Finally, rotate the sleeve to the left, and it will loosen.
