Operating the chuck

• This drill has a chuck designed for SDS Plus drill bits
• The SDS system allows the bit to move within the Chuck
(1). This means that it is unnecessary to tighten the
chuck around the bit
• Always grease the tail end of SDS bits; use pot of
grease supplied. Bits should be freshly greased and free
from dirt and dust before use
• To insert a drill bit:
- Pull back the Chuck Collar (2) and hold
- Insert SDS Plus drill bit fully into the chuck. Use a
twisting motion to line up the grooves in the
accessory
- Release the chuck collar
- The bit should now be locked into the machine.
Check by pulling the bit; if the bit can be
removed, repeat the above procedure until
secure
