OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. Direction-of-Rotation Selector
(Forward/Center Lock/Reverse)
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is
controlled by a selector located above the trigger
switch (A). With the drill/driver held in the normal
operating position, pointing away from you:
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector (B) to the
left of the tool for forward rotation.
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the right
of the tool for reverse rotation.
c. Setting the switch in the OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting
when not in use.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the
drill/driver to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation.
NOTICE:
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 the rotation. This feature
engages automatically when you release the trigger
switch.
NOTICE:
This drill/driver is equipped with an electric
brake. When the brake is functioning properly, sparks
may be visible through the vent slots in the housing.
This is normal and is the action of the brake.
