OPERATION
SWITCH
See Figure 5.
Your drill starts and stops by depressing and releasing the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to turn drill
OFF .
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 5.
Your drill has a variable speed feature in the switch. The
switch delivers higher speed and torque with increased
trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of
switch trigger depression.
SWITCH LOCK
See Figure 5.
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This
feature helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting
when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the direction
of rotation selector in the center position.
REVERSIBLE
See Figure 5.
This tool is reversible. The direction of rotation 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 for
drilling. The drilling 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.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow chuck
to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of
rotation.
