DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR

(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)

See Figure 4.

The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled 
by  a  selector  located  above  the  switch  trigger.  With  the 
screwdriver held in normal operating position, the direction 
of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the 
switch trigger for forward motion. The 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  collet  to 
come to a complete stop before changing the direction 
of rotation.

To stop the screwdriver, release the switch trigger and allow 
the collet to come to a complete stop.

NOTE: 

The screwdriver will not run unless the direction of 

rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.

TO INSERT BIT

See Figure 5.

The collet on the screwdriver has been designed to accept 
1/4 in. hex bits. To insert a bit, insert the bit into collet as far 
as possible. To remove, pull the bit from the collet.

LED WORKLIGHT

See Figure 6.

The screwdriver has a built-in LED worklight. This feature is  
convenient  when  working  in  close  or  tight  areas  where 
additional light is needed. Whenever the switch trigger is 
depressed, the LED worklight will illuminate.

NOTE: 

During normal operation, if the LED 

worklight

 will not  

illuminate, charge the screwdriver.
