▪ Remove three cross head screws just below the hinge on the red collar.
▪ Position the transparent plastic shield into the red collar and secure in place with the three
small cross head screws (Fig. 8).
▪ The chuck guard (4) is spring loaded and on a hinge which allows the guard (4) to be
moved upwards to expose the chuck (9) for drill installations and removal.
▪ Always return the guard (4) to cover rotating parts. Simply unscrew the wing nuts and the
two piece guard will extend vertically up or down.
▪ Chuck guard (4) is adjustable to varying depths to give more protection (Fig. 8).
