CHUCK REMOVAL
See Figures 13, 14, and 15.
The chuck must be removed in order to use some
accessories. To remove:

selector in center position.
■
Insert a 5/16 inch or larger hex key wrench into the chuck
of your drill and tighten the chuck jaws securely.
■
Tap the hex key wrench sharply with a mallet in a
clockwise direction.

screw in the chuck for easy removal.

the chuck screw by turning it in a clockwise direction.
See Figure 14. Note: The screw has left hand threads.

now be unscrewed by hand.
See Figure 15.

securely. Tap hex key wrench sharply with a mallet in a
