This tool has the feature of being reversible. The direction

direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of
the switch. When the selector is in center position, the
switch trigger is locked.
A CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation.
To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to come
to a complete stop.
