Installing & Removing
Drill Bits
Any drill bit you install in the chuck must be tight
enough that it will not come loose during operation.
To install a drill bit, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE DRILL PRESS FROM POWER!
2. Using the chuck key, open the drill chuck wide
enough to accept the shank of the drill bit.
3. Insert the drill bit as far as possible into the chuck
WITHOUT allowing the chuck jaws to touch the
fluted portion of the bit, and hand tighten the
chuck. Note: Make sure small bits are not trapped
between the edges of two jaws; if they are, rein-
stall the drill bit or it will not be secure enough to
use for drilling.
4. Final tighten the drill bit with the chuck key.
To remove a drill bit, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE DRILL PRESS FROM POWER!
2. Use the chuck key to open the drill chuck, and
catch the drill bit with a rag to protect your hands.
