4. Tighten the chuck jaws onto the bit by
turning the chuck body in a clockwise
direction.
NOTE:
Make sure the bit is properly
aligned in the jaws and NOT at an angle.
An improperly aligned bit could be thrown
from the chuck when drill is started. Make
sure flat sides of the screwdriver bit are
being grasped by the chuck jaws.
5. Finish tightening the chuck jaws by
holding the chuck collar with one hand
and firmly tightening the chuck body
by rotating it in a clockwise direction.
NOTE:
Hand tighten the chuck jaws. Do
NOT use pliers. You will damage the
chuck.
WARNING:
Do not insert the drill
bit into the chuck and tighten as shown
in Fig. 7. The drill bit MUST be properly
inserted with all three of the chuck jaws
holding the bit centered in the chuck.
Failure to properly insert the drill bit
could cause the drill bit to be thrown
from the chuck, resulting in possible
serious injury or damage to the chuck.
