VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH
A variable speed control is built into the trigger mechanism. You can
control and increase the machine's speed by applying more trigger
pressure until you get the speed that you want.
You can also control the machine's direction of rotation by switching
the forward and reverse lever, which is located just above the trigger
switch. Move the lever toward the Forward arrow for forward rotation
and toward the Back arrow for reverse rotation. Switch to OFF posi-
tion when the tool is not in use.
