Hello Blreid, to get the chuck off, you will need to be able to close the chuck. If this means using 2 plumber's wrenches, then so be it. Follow the directions below, and let me know if it works.

Remove the REVERSE-THREAD screw at the bottom of the chuck. Set the clutch collar to the highest setting, and set the gear to the slowest setting. Remove the battery! Get the biggest allen wrench you can fit in the end of the chuck(the shortest leg) and tighten the chuck down around it, allowing the jaws to rest and tighten on the flats of the wrench. Lay the drill on its side(chuck toward you, handle to the left, and allen wrench to the left, horizontal to the deck. Then with a hammer(soft hammer if you care about the allen wrench) quickly and deliberately hit the allen wrench in an attempt to cause the allen wrench to spin counter clockwise. Let me know if this works for you, and if not, explain what is happening.

The screw mentioned in solution number one is a left hand thread once you have removed it use an allen hey in the hole the screw came out of as if undoing a normal right hand thread a scarp blow with a hammer may be neccesary. then do the opposite when installing new chuck

Remove the battery and use the eraser on the end of a pencil to clean the battery contacts in the drill. If that doesn't fix it for you, test the battery to be sure it is hot. If all of that does not get you up and running then generally the motor is shot. J.

You are ok with what you got. The cordless saws take a lot of power to cut wood so it drains the battery fast. I have the ridged setup and my battery on a full charge only gets 4 cuts on a 2x4 befor it is dead. The saws will not give you any worning becauase the teath of the blade will get stuck in the wood so it just will not slow down like the drill will. I hope this helps with your ?

hi

try to charge the battery at full level and see what happens then.

Charge the battery.

In addition to the 8 obvious bolts there are 4 more under the gearcase insulator holding the gearcase to the housing. I looked at a schematic for the 18V recip saw and that is all I saw. Have you tried the Hitachipowertools.com website for the schematic? Let me know if you still have trouble.
