3.2 Inserting a Drill Bit
- With the adapter securely attached to your power tool, hold the outer sleeve of the keyless chuck.
- Rotate the outer sleeve counter-clockwise to open the chuck jaws.
- Insert the desired drill bit or accessory into the chuck jaws. Ensure the bit is inserted as far as possible without touching the back of the chuck.
