Any tricks to inserting drill bit on the chuck head?

My sis-in-law's unit came with the chuck assembly not fully bedded (not installed) thus when you twisted the chuck to open it, it wouldn't. I had to reinstall it by pressing down on it firmly but once it was fixed the chuck opens when you twist clockwise (with the bit insertion hole facing you) to letter "R" and then you insert the bit then twist counter-clockwise back to "S". The unit didn't come with any instructions but they emailed it a few days after I received it. Would've been nice had they emailed it right after it was ordered. If you haven't received the instructions, reach out to the seller or leave your email and I'll be happy to forward them to you.

Take drill bits with square ends to lock in chuck. Straight bits will not work

One might try Forstner bits - they cut the outer edge of the hole first, leaving a nice clean hole. They also have a centering point.

Twist the chuck counterclockwise with your hand. If it's stuck, give the first little twist a bit of a snap. To tighten the chuck, twist it clockwise until it stops. This drill doesn't require a chuck key.

I took a dremel and a small sanding disk to cut a slot in the screws to use a flat head screwdriver. If you do it, lower the disk straight in, and don't run it back and forth or wobble it. (My first slot was a little big and ugly. The others look pretty nice.)

its not a bad design, i have a 795 and had the same problem when i first used it. the chuck has an unusual dubble locking action. close the chuck down on the bit when it stops, grab the black nurled chuck and twist it clockwise again, u will hear a clicking sound as it wratchets down till it locks again, and then the bit wont fall out

I have the same problem albeit - using the drill the one time I tested it out, the bit didn't come out. I don't think your doing anything wrong - I'm guessing its something in the design. I will admit though - being able to just pull the bit out, does make me a little uncomfortable.

The only thing I can tell you is : hold the chuck and reverse the drill,on high speed or high torgue. Good luck ps maybe wear gloves, rubber

No, standard bits do not work. Does not have a standard chuck. Only SDS bits fit.

I poured it into a skinny glass bottle that I simply dip the drill bit into. I suppose if you couldn't lift the bit that far off your cutting surface you could use a plastic baggy as well.

Hold the bottom piece sideways so you can balance the screw on the allen wrench and insert it up through the holes. There are six total screws you have to do this with.

I've done very fie jewlery work, including a number 80 drill bit, which I believe is the smallest commonly available. The chuck would grab a thread, if you put one in it.

You have to drill a small hole, about 1/8", in the center of the work surface. There is a pin on the cutter that fits into this hole. I also found it helps to drill a small starter hole on the circumference of the circle, you can do this with the tool but it's a little tricky.

I didn't need drill bits I just knocked out the pins holding the site to the site block and put the provided nuts and bolts on. a drift pin or a small nail will work to knock the pins out. But I took that one off and installed a new one the following week as I wanted my scope back where it belongs. with this mount you can only put a scout scope or handgun scope on it and the eye relief is way out there lol

The easiest way is to use a bore hole jig, but it can be installed by just using the included paper template. You will need a 2 1/4" hole saw, 3/4" or 7/8" spade/auger bit and a sharp chisel. No other hardware is necessary.

Remove the 3/4 inch diameter chuck holder from the tool. Then just screw the keyless chuck on that shaft. If your having trouble with the original non-adjustable chuck, it's probably because it's just wedged in too tight. After you remove the chuck holder use a tool to pry out the collet.Another solution:Try using a tapered wood screw or sheet metal screw as an extractor. Choose one of a size that will let its tip go down into the broken collet and get a grip when you twist it. If that fails, you might use a screw extraction tool.

Hold the little button and turn the black part counter clockwise insert the bit and turn clockwise until you hear a click and it will be secured
