AUTO-SPINDLE LOCK
Your cordless drill has an auto-spindle lock. This feature
makes installing and removing bits much easier. When the
switch trigger is released and the motor comes to a
complete stop, you may hear a click. The click you hear
indicates the auto-spindle lock has engaged and locked
the spindle. With the spindle locked, you can easily install
or remove bits by turning the chuck sleeve with one hand.
The auto-spindle lock disengages when the motor starts
again.
