Instruction & User Manual
Replacing Bits/Drills
Never hold the chuck sleeve in one hand
and run the tool to tighten or release
accessories. This risks serious personal injury.
WARNING!
m
Place the tool on a stable surface, for
example a work bench.
m
Open the chuck by holding the chuck sleeve
in a firm grip and turning it anticlockwise
until the chuck jaws open and the accessory
can be inserted. The chuck is designed so
that it can easily be tightened or released
with one hand.
The spindle locks automatically when the
chuck stops rotating.
NOTE
m
Insert the accessory as far as it will go into
the chuck. Point the tool up slightly so that
the accessory does not fall out.
m
Tighten the chuck sleeve clockwise so that
the accessory is gripped firmly by the chuck
jaws.
Check that the accessory is straight, centred
and not askew. If the accessory is not
properly positioned it could fly out when

rest on the flat surfaces of the accessory.
