DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 4.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the
screwdriver held in normal operating position, the direction
of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the
switch trigger for forward motion. The direction is reversed
when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not
in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the collet to
come to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation.
To stop the screwdriver, release the switch trigger and allow
the collet to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The screwdriver will not run unless the direction of
rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
TO INSERT BIT
See Figure 5.
The collet on the screwdriver has been designed to accept
1/4 in. hex bits. To insert a bit, insert the bit into collet as far
as possible. To remove, pull the bit from the collet.
LED WORKLIGHT
See Figure 6.
The screwdriver has a built-in LED worklight. This feature is
convenient when working in close or tight areas where
additional light is needed. Whenever the switch trigger is
depressed, the LED worklight will illuminate.
NOTE: During normal operation, if the LED
illuminate, charge the screwdriver.
