carefully remove it while the bit is still rotating.
This prevents the Drill bit from binding.

Direction Switch to the center position,
to avoid unintentional starting.

workpiece, the Chuck will stop rotating and:
• if the drill is set to High speed, the Drill
will suddenly twist in the opposite
direction of bit rotation with force
capable of causing serious injury.
• if the Drill is set to Low speed, a mechanical
clutch will disengage the bit from the gears
and a clicking sound will be heard.
