This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for
counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

operation.

Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
•
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.

correct position. If you operate the tool with the
speed change lever positioned halfway between
the "1" side and "2" side, the tool may be
