CAUTION:
Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.

Install the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in
between the protrusions on the tool barrel. Then tighten
the grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It
may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position.
Bit grease
Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small
amount of bit grease (about 0.5 -1 g). This chuck
lubrication assures smooth action and longer service life.
