Side grip (auxiliary handle)

The side grip swings around to either side, allowing easy
handling of the tool in any position. Loosen the clamp screw
on the side grip and swing the side grip to the desired posi-
tion. Then tighten the clamp screw to secure the side grip.
Bit grease (optional accessory)
Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small amount of
bit grease (about 0.5 -1 g; 0.02 - 0.04 oz.). This chuck lubri-
cation assures smooth action and longer service life.
