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.

FORWARD/REVERSE/cENTER LOcK

See Figure 5.

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 lock) position 

helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not 
in use.

cAUTION:

 To prevent gear damage, always allow 

the chuck to come to a complete stop before chang-
ing 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.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods 
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may 
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool 
the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
