DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORwARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCk)
See Figure 3, page 9.
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

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.

LO
or
HI
speeds. A slide switch is located on top of the
screwdriver to select either
LO
or
HI
speed. When using
screwdriver in the
LO
speed range, speed will decrease and
unit will have more power and torque. When using screwdriver
in the
HI
speed range, speed will increase and unit will have
less power and torque. When drilling use 1/4 in. hex shank
drill bits only. Maximum drill size is 1/4 in.
Use the
HI
speed setting to drill holes, and use the
LO
speed
setting for driving screws.
