I would chuck a good size steel pin, unlock and swivel your table over to the side, clean both the taper and the socket with brake cleaner spray or electrical contact cleaner (or even Fondu Alcohol Fuel will work) to leave no oil film at all on the parts. Also run a stone around on all the male part taper surface to check for invisible burr spots and dents left when it was tossed around during manufacturing. Dry every bit of cleaner out by waiting or blowing with a hair dryer. Then tap it in with a piece of wood against the steel pin bottom. Professional shops can make the taper match so it will transmit 5 HP or more without spinning or falling out, but many workers today just don't get the quality training or buy the measuring tools to be able to do that. My Chineese machine didn't even have the draw bar threaded with the matching thread to lock in the chuck in for it's milling head, so you know they are not a detail oriented outfit. Great Guns and all facing the one way!
You don't need that screw that fell out if you can't get it back in the chuck is threaded on and you probably will never have a problem with it again. Good Luck...
Insert sds bit into chuck with slots/slot matching slot in chuck while pulling back on the spring loaded nose. If the bit does not catch try turning/rotating bit to lock. When you release the nose, a pin will drop into the indention on bit and prevent it from falling out during use. Sometimes this pin will break or wear-out thus the bit will not catch. Before you insert the bit, look into chuck for retaining pin. Pulling back on the spring loaded chuck releases pressure on the pin and allows insertion of bit.

yes it can, what you need to do is lock the chuck as tight as you can and then replace the chuck retaining screw which you should be able to find locally, it is a left hand thread.
by spindle I assume you are talking about the chuck and the shaft that is in it, if so what you need to do is use something like brake clean and thoroughly clean the shaft and internal socket. Wipe both dry with a paper towel. Move the table out of the way and find a block of wood and a hammer. retract the chuck jaws fully and place the block of wood on the face of the chuck and HIT it with the hammer a couple times. This is a taper socket fit and that will seat it. If other than that I would need the tool catalog number and I will find a schematic and try and help.
you pulled the retaining ring off the end of the chuck shaft. Not to worry go to Makitatools.com and type in your model number and it will take you to a page where you can download a schematic on the repair of this.
First I would go to Makitatools.com and download a schematic for this tool. But it is pretty simple to remove the rubber dust shield and plastic collar to look for debris and proper movement in the chuck assembly. Make sure also that you are using the right SDS bits in tool. You should be able to push the bit into the collar and twist until it goes into and locks. Let me know and I will help further
yeah you have a bad chuck. there is a screw inside the receiver of the chuck if you remove this screw the chuck will come off. Reverse this procedure to re install the new chuck.
