SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page 11.
To turn the drill
ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
The switch trigger delivers higher speed and torque with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the
switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal
part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 3, page 11.
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 direction of rotation selector in the
OFF (center
lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental start-
ing when not in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation.
To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
