OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch. 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. 1)
A forward/reverse control button 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.

ries only.
