CAUTION! when placing the battery pack in the tool, be sure that the raised
rib on battery pack aligns with the groove inside the drill and that the latches
snap into place properly. Improper attachment of the battery pack can cause
damage to internal components.
WARNING! Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, the
direction-of-rotation selector should always be locked when not in use or car-
rying at your side.
TRIGGER SWITCH (Fig. 5)
To turn the drill/driver ON, depress
the trigger switch. To turn it OFF,
release the trigger switch.
VARIABLE SPEED (Fig.5)
The variable-speed trigger switch
delivers higher speed with increased
trigger pressure and lower speed
with decreased trigger pressure.
DIRECTION-OF-ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCk) (Fig.
5b)
The direction of bit rotation is reversible
and is controlled by a selector located
above the trigger switch. With the drill
held in normal operating position:
1. Position the direction-of-rotation
selector to the left of the tool for
forward rotation.
2. Position the direction-of-rotation
selector to the right of the tool for reverse rotation.
3. Setting the switch 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 drill to come to a com-
plete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
NOTE: The Drill/Driver will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is
engaged fully to the left or right.
ELECTRIC BRAkE
To stop the Drill/Driver, release the trigger switch and allow the tool to come
to a complete stop. The electric brake quickly stops rotating. This feature
engages automatically when you release the trigger switch.
