Driving Screws; Chuck Removal - COMPANION 184.10184-1 Owner's Manual

DRIVING SCREWS
When driving screws, care must be taken to
use the bit that correctly fits the screw being
driven. Make sure you use the largest bit size
that will properly fit into the head of the
screw.
1. Select the correct screwdriver bit for the
screw being driven.
2. Fasten the screwdriver bit into the chuck,
making sure the flats of the bit are
gripped by the chuck jaws.
Set the torque clutch to the appropriate
setting based on the chart shown on
Page 12.
NOTE: If material is particularly soft or
porous, set the torque clutch at a lower
setting to avoid over driving the screw.
If the screw is driven too far into the
workpiece before the clutch releases, set
the clutch at a lower setting and do not
pull the trigger switch fully back. If the
screw is not driven far enough into the
workpiece, set the clutch at a higher
setting.
NOTE: Do not continue to drive the
screw once the clutch has released. This
will damage the clutch.
CHUCK REMOVAL
The drill chuck must be removed in order to
use some accessories. To remove the chuck:
1. Remove the battery from the drill.
Insert a 5/16" or larger hex key (1) into
the chuck (2) and tighten the chuck jaws
securely. Make sure each of the three
chuck jaws (3) is seated on the flat
surfaces of the hex key (see Fig. 10).
Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet (4)
in a clockwise direction. This action will
loosen the screw in the chuck for easy
removal.

thread.
