3. Insert the desired drill bit or screwdriver bit into the chuck, ensuring it is centered.
4. Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. Hand-tighten firmly.
5. To remove the bit, rotate the chuck counter-clockwise until the jaws open sufficiently to release the bit.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Operation

1. Selecting Speed: Use the speed selector switch on top of the drill to choose between low speed (for high torque applications like driving screws) and high speed (for drilling).
2. Setting Torque (Clutch): Rotate the clutch setting ring to the desired torque setting. Lower numbers are for smaller screws and softer materials, higher numbers for larger screws and harder materials. For drilling, set the ring to the drill icon.
3. Forward/Reverse: Push the forward/reverse selector to the left for forward rotation (drilling/driving) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws). Center position locks the trigger.
4. Starting the Drill: Squeeze the trigger switch to start the drill. The speed is variable depending on how far the trigger is pressed.

4.2 Drilling and Driving Tips

• Always secure your workpiece before drilling or driving.
• Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the drill.
• For drilling into hard materials, use a pilot hole.
• When driving screws, start at a lower torque setting and increase if necessary to avoid stripping the screw head or damaging the workpiece.
