rotating sleeve for one-handed operation of the
chuck. To insert a drill bit or other accessory,
follow these steps.
1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position as
previously described.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck
with one hand and use the other hand
to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve
counterclockwise far enough to accept the desired accessory.
3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm into the chuck and tighten securely by rotating
the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the other. Your
tool is equipped with an automatic spindle lock mechanism. This allows you to open
and close the chuck with one hand.
To release the accessory, repeat step 2 above.

the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal
injury may result. Always lock off trigger switch when changing acces sories.
Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the
tool for maximum tightness.
