TRIGGER SWITCH (Fig. 3)
To turn the drill/driver ON,
depress the trigger switch.
To turn it OFF, release the
trigger switch.
VARIABLE SPEED (Fig. 3)
The variable-speed trigger
switch delivers higher speed
with increased trigger pressure
and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
DIRECTION-OF-
ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/CENTER-LOCK/
REVERSE) (Fig. 4)
The direction of bit rotation is
reversible and is controlled by a
selector located above the
trigger switch.
With the drill/driver held in
normal operating position and
direction-of-rotation selector in OFF (center-lock) position as shown in Fig. 4:
1. Push the direction-of-rotation selector to the left for drilling (forward).
2. Push the direction-of-rotation selector to the right for reverse.
NOTE: Always set the switch in the OFF (center-lock) position when tool is not in
use to prevent accidental starting.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a
complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
NOTICE: The drill/driver will not run unless the direction-of-rotation selector is
engaged fully to the left or right.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
To stop the drill/driver, release the trigger switch and allow the chuck to come to
a complete stop. The electric brake quickly stops the chuck from rotating. This
feature engages automatically when you release the trigger switch.
