OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH (FIG. E)
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 chuck will stop
as soon as 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. Use lower speeds for starting holes without
a center punch, drilling in metals or plastics, or
driving screws. 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. F)
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 and the impacting noise
that the tool makes is normal and does not indicate a problem.
LED WORKLIGHT (FIG. G)
There is a worklight (5) located just above the
trigger switch (A). The worklight will be activated
when the trigger switch is squeezed.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.

accessories only.
