When drilling into materials, always be aware of the direction of the bit and make sure that the bit is inserted properly and securely into the Craftsman drill. If it is not, it could cause the drill to malfunction and could potentially cause injury.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Prepare the Drill<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
• Check the Chuck<\/strong> – Make sure the chuck is closed and that nothing is inside. If there is anything inside, use a spanner to loosen the chuck.<\/li>\n
• Attach the Key<\/strong> – Place the drill key into the chuck and tighten it until the key is firmly locked into the chuck.<\/li>\n
• Set the Speed<\/strong> – Set the speed of the drill to its lowest setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Step 2: Insert the Bit<\/h2>\n

  <\/p>\n

  To begin, insert the bit into the chuck of the Craftsman drill. Make sure it is properly seated in the chuck and that it is aligned correctly.<\/p>\n

  Insert the Bit into the Chuck<\/h3>\n

  Slide the bit into the chuck of the drill and rotate it until the shank is seated correctly. Use your finger to check that it is in the correct position.<\/p>\n

  Secure the Bit in Place<\/h3>\n

  Once the bit is in the correct position, tighten the chuck by turning it clockwise. Make sure to tighten the chuck securely in order to avoid the bit slipping out during use.<\/strong><\/p>\n

  Step 3: Tighten the Chuck<\/h2>\n

  <\/p>\n

  \n
  • Insert the bit<\/strong> into the jaws of the chuck and make sure the bit is in the jaws correctly.<\/li>\n
  • Rotate the chuck<\/strong> clockwise until it is tight.<\/li>\n
  • Tighten the chuck<\/strong> by turning the sleeve of the chuck with your fingers.<\/li>\n
  • Test the tightness<\/strong> by trying to pull the bit out of the chuck.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Step 4: Test the Connection<\/h2>\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Step<\/th>\n	Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    1<\/td>\n	Connect the bit to the chuck.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    2<\/td>\n	Twist the chuck clockwise until it stops.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    3<\/td>\n	Tighten the chuck’s locking lever.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    4<\/strong><\/td>\n	Test the connection by running the drill at low speed.<\/strong> If the bit appears to be securely connected, the drill is ready for use.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n When testing the connection, make sure to use the drill<\/a> at low speed. If the bit appears to be securely connected, the drill is ready for use. If the bit appears to be loose, tighten the chuck’s locking lever and test the drill again.<\/p>\n Step 5: Adjust the Bit (Optional)<\/h2>\n
