Installing/Removing

Drill Bits

Drill bits installed in the chuck must be tight
enough to not come loose during operation.

To install a drill bit:

1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

2. 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,
reinstall 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:

1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

2. Use the chuck key to open the drill chuck,

and catch the drill bit with a rag to protect
your hands.
