can't get drill bit in a cordless drill?

I have a firestorm black and decker cordless drill and i can't seem to get the drill bit back in.

The part that holds the drill bit is called the chuck. The chuck can open and close to hold different bits. I would guess that maybe you've inadvertently closed the chuck all the way. First, push the toggle switch located near the trigger so the chuck spins counter-clockwise (with the drill pointed away from you), then grip the chuck and turn it clock-wise. It may take a little force like opening a tough pickle jar. Then open it wide enough to insert the drill bit and re-tighten by turning the chuck counter-clockwise. Use some force so that the bit is nice and tight. Put the drill back into forward by push the toggle switch the other way. Sometimes, if the chuck is really closed tight, I will run the drill fast in reverse (counter-clockwise) and then grab the chuck hard while it's spinning and that will provide the necessary force to break it loose. Although I might not recommend doing this if you are fairly new to power tools.
