The rotation of your cordless drill can be reversed. The direction of rotation is controlled by the
selector located above the trigger switch.

(forward/fasten screws)
Press selector R(everse) on right side (to the left side): drill turns left (reverse/loosen

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the gearbox, always allow the chuck to come to a complete
stop before changing the direction of rotation or selecting another speed (HI-LO). To stop,
release the trigger switch.
6.4 Speed selector (lo/hi )
Your cordless drill has a speed selector switch on top of the machine, for drilling or
driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When you select LO (1) speed range, the speed will
decrease but will provide more power and torque. When using drill in the HI (2) speed
range. Speed will increase but will provides less power and torque. Use LO (1) speed for
high power and torque application and HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.
