The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the
drill held in normal operating position, the direction of
rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the
switch trigger for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed
when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center locl^ position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not
