How do you change the bit?

Same as with all the other electric drills: turn the chuck to open the jaws, turn back to tighten.

You need to hold the end of the drill's head, set the drill mode for counter-clockwise rotation, and pull the trigger until the teeth inside the head open large enough for you to put the bit in. Put the bit in, reverse the rotation, and pull the trigger until it is tight. If you are unable to get the drill to move under your grip, increase the torque by turning the numbered dial to a higher setting and try again.

You can put a screwdriver bit in if you want to. I have used it as a screwdriver

James, you have to twist the middle to open and close the chuck to get the bit in. It's easy and I was a little confused too! Just twist ( I can't remember which way) to open, drop in the bit, and twist opposite to close. Happy filing!

Sure can. Very easily. Just pull out the bit and put in a new one in less than 5 seconds. I recommend putting in your favorite or most USED bits as you get some bits you might not need such as a star bit.

It's very simple, you just hold the drill firmly in one hand and twist the end of the chuck in the other. Open wide enough to insert the size bit you need then twist in the other direction. The chuck will move very little while twisting.

the easiest way I have found, is to pull the "rack" of bits out, slide the individual bit in, and replace the rack back into the case

Yes you can... Didnt figure it out but eventually saw the adjuster nut next to where you insert the bit

I used a 1/8 inch bit. Maxxair website should list that, plus it is listed in instructions. Very easy.

There is a large black rubber ring just aft of the drill chuck. There are numbers that go around the drill, number from 1 to 10. Twist the large black rubber ring to change power settings.

Just make sure when you pull the black band back that it's fully retracted as far as it can go. That should release the bit from the bit holder.

Assuming you're using the bits that came with drill, they all fit. Did you try opening the top, using the releaser (button on the silver part) and twisting the ridged dial? That will open the top so you can adjust to the stem of the bit... Make sure to secure it tight so it doesn't fly off or get loose during use.

Hi Barbara. The bit on top is magnetic fixed. The other spare bits, are exposed when you put and pull the removed one on the back of the desired bit hole. It's very simple and easy.

I had the same problem. It's a press fit but very tight. Pull the black tip straight out with a pair of pliers while holding onto the blue part. You'll see the bit is double-ended - just flip it around to use the other end/size and push it in until it clicks into the little slot on the blue handle.

Any standard bit will work in this. It comes with a special tool to take bits on and off.

Yes its simple just loosen the tension screw and push it up to the top and you can reach it. The platform mechanism is spring loaded for depth just push it all the way up and it clears giving you full access to change bits.

I have no problem with mine. You need to push in and hold the black button at he the top of the unit, and turn counter clockwise to make it open wider. Keep button pushed in, insert the bit, then tighten by turning clockwise. Release the button and you are good to go.

Is this a trick question? The right way. LOL. Using the supplied allen wrench, loosen the nut by turning clockwise while pressing the blade lock. Remove the blade and replace in the reverse order.
