easy handling of the tool in any position. Loosen the
side grip by turning it counterclockwise, swing it to the
desired position and then tighten it by turning clockwise.
Bit grease (optional accessory)
► Fig.3: 1. Bit shank 2. Grease
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 lubrication assures smooth action and lon-
