WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating
condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked
when not in use or carrying at your side.
REVERSIBLE
See Figure 5.
This tool has the feature of being reversible. The direction
of rotation is controlled by a selector located above the
switch trigger. With the drill held in normal operating
position, the direction of rotation selector should be
positioned to the left of the switch for drilling. The drilling
direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of
the switch. When the selector is in center position, the
switch trigger is locked.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation.
To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to come
to a complete stop.
