DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
The impact driver has a direction of rotation (forward/reverse/
center lock) selector located above the switch trigger for
changing the direction of bit rotation. Setting the switch
trigger in the OFF (center lock) position helps reduce the
possibility of accidental starting when not in use.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake will stop the bit rotation after the operator
releases the switch trigger.
LED WORKLIGHT
The LED worklight, located below the coupler, illuminates
when the switch trigger is depressed. This provides extra
light for increased visibility.
MINIMUM REACTIVE TORQUE
This impact driver minimizes the amount of reactive torque
to the operator.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
