How do you tighten the chuck on an egg-beater style drill?

So that's kind-of a stupid, question, but since I bought a used Miller's Falls hand drill, there aren't any instructions. I've just been holding the handle tight with one hand, and tightening the chuck with the other. Is there a better way to tighten the chuck then this?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I hold the chuck in place with my left hand and turn the handle with my right to tighten things (same concept as how I would tighten a power drill). So I'm holding it the same as you but moving a different part to tighten it.
