This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the "FWD" posi-
tion for clockwise rotation or the "REV" position for counter-
clockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position, the
switch trigger cannot be pulled.
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.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
