piece of wood, strike the longer end in the clockwise direction, as
shown in Figure 5.
This will loosen the screw inside the chuck.
Open chuck jaws fully, insert screwdriver (or Torx tool if required)
into front of chuck between jaws to engage screw head. Remove
screw by turning clockwise (left-hand-thread). Place hex key in
chuck as shown in Figure 6. Using a wooden mallet or similar

around the shorter end of a 1/4" or larger hex key (not supplied)
strike the longer end in the clockwise direction with a soft hammer,
as shown in Figure 5. Insert screw into center of chuck and tighten
