injury.
Your tool is equipped with a direction-of-rotation selector, located above the variable-speed
trigger switch. This selector is used to change the direction of rotation of the bit and to lock the
variable-speed trigger in the "OFF" (center-lock) position (Fig. 3).
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the far right of the tool for forward rotation.
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the far left of the tool for reverse rotation.
c. Position the switch in the "OFF" (center-lock) position to help reduce the possibility of
accidental starting when not in use.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the impact driver to come to a complete stop
before changing the direction of rotation.
NOTICE: The impact driver will not run unless the direction-of-rotation selector is engaged
fully to the left or to the right.
