any position.
NOTE: The side grip cannot swing 360° when the
depth gauge is installed.

tighten all three chuck holes evenly. To remove the bit,
turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole,
then loosen the chuck by hand.
After using the chuck key, be sure to return it to the
original position.
