OPERATION
KEYLESS CHUCK
1.
Center the rotation direction knob to prevent the motor accidentally starting.
2.
Note there are two rings on the chuck. Turning the endmost knurled ring, the
chuck tightening ring of the chuck (A in the functional description) clockwise
by hand while with the other hand, holding the second chuck stop ring (B in
the functional description) to prevent the motor turning; this closes the jaws
of the chuck.
3.
Turning that same chuck tightening ring counter-clockwise opens the jaws.
Open the jaws to insert a bit and then close the jaws so they clamp the bit
tightly.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the tool clean using a soft damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use solvents on
1.
the plastic parts.
Lubrication is not necessary. After long use, have an authorized service centre
2.
maintain and lubricate the tool.
Should the chuck require replacement,
3.
Remove the battery pack
Open the chuck jaws as widely as possible so you can get at the chuck
retaining screw.
Unscrew the chuck retaining screw with a Philips screwdriver. Note that
this is a left hand threaded screw and you remove it by turning it clockwise.
Clamp the shorter arm of a large Allen wrench in the chuck, aligning it with
the jaws so they grip three of its six flat sides.
Place the drill on a flat surface, and support the chuck with a piece of wood
about 3/8" (10 mm) above that surface. Or press the drill body on the working
table and make the chuck hanging in the air. (Be careful with your hand!)
Strike the long arm of the wrench with a hammer so that the chuck turns
counter-clockwise and unscrews from the spindle. This may require a fairly
sharp blow.
Repeat the process in reverse to install a new chuck.

To maintain the best performance of your rechargeable Ni-Cd battery, protect
it from overheating, both from overcharging and during storage. Occasionally
charge the battery for 7 hours. The battery may also benefit from a full
discharge from time to time.
