MAINTENANCE

TO RETIGHTEN A LOOSE CHUCK

The chuck may become loose on the spindle and develop a wobble when using the drill. Periodically check chuck screw for tightness. A loose screw may cause the chuck jaws to bind and prevent them from closing. To tighten:

Unplug the drill.

Open the chuck jaws.

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

Open the chuck jaws and remove the hex key wrench.

Tighten the chuck screw.

NOTE: The chuck screw has left-hand threads.
