(1)Removing the bit

Securely hold the main unit and pull out the bit by holding the tip with your thumb. (Fig. 13)

(2)Installing the Bit

Install the bit with steps opposite of when removing. Insert the bit so that the right and left sides are equal, as shown in Fig. 14.

3. Installing/Removing the side handle

CAUTION:

Firmly install the side handle. If loose, the side

handle may gyrate or fall out and cause bodily injury.

(1)Install the side handle so that the protrusions on the main unit and grooves on the side handle interlock. Tighten the grip after checking that the side handle is not riding on the slip prevention protrusion. (Fig. 15)

(2)Loosen the grip to remove the side handle.

4.Mounting and dismounting the bit

(1) Mounting the bit

Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front) to open the clip on the keyless chuck. After inserting a driver bit, etc., into the keyless drill chuck, and tighten the sleeve by turning it toward the right (in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front). (See Fig. 16)

NOTE: If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten it further.

The tightening force becomes stronger when the sleeve is tightened.

Insert so that bit does not protrude from main unit

(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. 17)

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.
