MAINTENANCE
TO RETIGHTEN A LOOSE CHUCK
(Figs. 18 and 18a)
The chuck may become loose on the spindle
and develop a wobble. Also, the chuck
screw may become loose, causing the chuck
jaws to bind and prevent them from closing.
To tighten:
1. Lock the trigger switch by placing the
Forward / Reverse Selector Switch with Power
Lock-Off in the center, or OFF position.
2. Open the chuck jaws.
3. Insert the hex key into the chuck and tighten
the chuck jaws securely. Tap the hex key
sharply with a mallet in a clockwise direction.
This will tighten the chuck on the spindle.
4. Open the chuck jaws, and remove the hex key.
5. Tighten the chuck screw in a counter-
clockwise direction.
