Changing chuck jaws

Is there a video showing how to change the chuck jaws? The manual (p 37) says to start with #1, then install them in numerical order (2, 3, 4). However, in the next paragraph, the manual says to “place the second jaw in the next slot, moving in a clockwise pattern, repeating this process until all four jaws are seated.” The next slot clockwise from #1 is number 4. To seat them in numerical order we have to go counterclockwise.

We’ve tried it both ways without success.

So each jaw has a number that must be put in the correct spot (numbers must match on the jaw and chuck)
I struggled for 10 minutes till I figured it out
Once I got them in the correct order I made sure they were at 12, 3, 6,9 o’clock.
Then with slight pressure ,on each jaw, they mesh as you turn the chuck key

Depends on which side of the chuck you are on. One way is right to number 2, from the other side it is left to number 2.

Looking at the face of the chuck, the numbering is almost always CCW.
Industry standard I think.

Same here only it took me 20 minutes to figure it out.

OK, I got the jaws changed. I did them in order 1, 2, 3, 4 and rotated the chuck key clockwise to get them to seat in order.
