Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand and requires no special tools. Before servicing drive tools, ensure the tool is disconnected from any power source and the torque mechanism is fully released. Seat the retaining ring into the groove on the drive shank until it snaps into place and is fully seated around the circumference. Inspect the ring for proper seating before returning the tool to service.
