CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before 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.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the A side for
clockwise rotation or the B side for counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position, the
tool will not start even if you pull the trigger.
