How to Change a Ryobi Drill

Ryobi drills use different bits for different jobs.

Ryobi is a manufacturer of many power tools, including power drills that are used to drill holes in wood, metal and other materials. Ryobi makes both electric and battery-powered drills. The battery on the Ryobi drill is rechargeable. When bits ware down or if you need a specific size for a specific job, you will have to change it on your drill.

Instructions

1. Grasp the back of the battery pack at the bottom base of the hand grip. Push in on the small indented release lever and slide the Ryobi battery off.

2. Hold the Ryobi's chuck collar tightly with one hand. It is located between the chuck lock and the spinning rotation selector.

3. Twist the chuck lock counterclockwise, or left, firmly until the chuck collar loosens its grip on the drill bit.

4. Pull the old drill bit out and slide the new one in.

5. Grasp the chuck collar again with one hand. Twist the chuck lock to the right tightly until the new drill bit is tight.

6. Replace the slide-on battery pack and squeeze the trigger once or twice just to make sure it looks as if the new bit is clearly centered.
