Having selected and where necessary prepared
the chuck, it can now be fitted to the pistol. To
begin, remove the foot assembly by loosening
the thumbscrews on the front end cap (chuck
fitting may be accomplished without removing
the foot assembly. However, removal of the
assembly provides easier access).
Slide the chuck into bellows support and screw
the chuck into position on the M10 mounting
thread on the front of the pistol shaft.
Tighten the chuck into position using an
appropriate wrench (usually 14mm A/F for Euro
chucks
-
see page 25).
IMPORTANT! Do not over
-
tighten chucks. This
requires only hand tightening. Over
-
tightening may result in un
-
warrantied damage to your
pistol.

fit the foot assembly by sliding into the front end cap and
tightening the thumbscrews then fit the brass ferrule grip into the
foot adaptor. Ensure the ferrule grip is an appropriate match to
the chuck fitted earlier. The ferrule grip is held in position by two
set screws positioned 180° apart in the foot adaptor. Gently
secure the ferrule grip using a 2.5mm hex key. Again, be aware
that over
-
tightening may damage the grip.
