Q

How do you change drill bits?

A

As a standard safety precaution, always disconnect the drill from the power source when installing or changing drill bits. Insert the shank of the twist bit into the chuck, and secure it firmly by inserting the drill chuck key into the holes of the chuck body and tightening the chuck jaws. With the power disconnected, you reduce your chance of being injured.
