LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 2.
Your screwdriver is equipped with a lock-on feature
which is convenient when continuous driving of screws
for extended periods of time is required. To lock-on,
depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on
button located on the side of the handle, then release
switch trigger. Release lock-on button and your
screwdriver will continue running.
To release the lock, depress the switch trigger and

If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and
your screwdriver becomes disconnected from power
supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 2.
Your screwdriver has a variable speed switch designed
to allow operator control of speed and torque limits. The
speed and torque of your screwdriver can be increased
by depressing the switch trigger.
Note: Depress switch trigger all the way for maximum
speed and torque of your screwdriver. Depress switch
trigger only part of the way for less speed and torque.
Avoid running your screwdriver at low speeds for
extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under
constant usage may cause your screwdriver to become
overheated. If this occurs, cool your screwdriver by
running it without a load and at full speed.
