| - | [* black] If the chuck has no provision for a wrench, the easiest way to turn |
| + | [* black] If the chuck has no provision for a wrench, the easiest way to turn it forcefully is by means of a hex key gripped in the chuck jaws by its short end. |
| [* black] If a wrench can be fitted to the spindle, lay the drill flat on the edge of a workbench or sturdy table, with the wrench resting on the table, the chuck overhanging the edge and the hex key pointing slightly upwards from horizontal. | |
| - | [* black] |
| + | [* black] It won't hurt to try if you can release the chuck by pushing down on the hex key by hand - though this will rarely work. |
| [* black] If hand force isn't sufficient, firmly hold down the drill and give the end of the hex wrench a solid whack, preferably with a wooden or plastic hammer. A sharp blow should loosen the chuck instantly. |
