[VonPaisley]

To safely change the drill bit on your BOSCH EasyDrill 18V-40 Cordless Drill/Driver, follow these steps: First and foremost, prioritize safety. Remove the battery from your power tool to prevent accidental starts. If the drill bit is hot from recent use, allow it to cool down before handling it. With the power tool switched off, the drill spindle should be locked, enabling easy drill bit changes. Now, open the keyless chuck by turning it in the direction of rotation until the old drill bit is released. Insert your new drill bit into the chuck, ensuring it's properly seated. Tighten the chuck firmly by hand in the rotational direction until it clicks, indicating it's locked. Finally, give the drill bit a gentle tug to confirm it is securely held in place. Always remember to wear appropriate safety gear, such as safety glasses, when operating power tools. By following these steps, you can confidently and safely change the drill bit on your BOSCH EasyDrill 18V-40.
