is fully charged.

with the rails inside the tool’s
handle (Fig. B).

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. A)
Some Mac Tools battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button.
A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge
in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
nOTE:
The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch 1 . To turn the
tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with
a brake. The anvil will stop when the trigger switch is fully
released. The variable speed switch enables you to select the
best speed for a particular application. The more you squeeze
the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. For maximum tool
life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
nOTE:
Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should be
avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. A)
A forward/reverse control button 2 determines the direction of
the tool and also serves as a lock off button. To select forward
rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/
reverse control button on the right side of the tool. To select
reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on the left
side of the tool. The center position of the control button locks
the tool in the off position. When changing the position of the
control button, be sure the trigger is released.
nOTE:
The first time the tool is run after changing the direction
of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
