OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. Direction-of-Rotation Selector
(Forward/Center Lock/Reverse)
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the trigger switch (A). With
the drill/driver held in the normal operating position,
pointing away from you:
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector (B) to the
left of the tool for forward rotation.
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the right
of the tool for reverse rotation.
c. Setting the switch in the OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting
when not in use.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the drill/
driver 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 tool to come to a complete stop. The electric
brake quickly stops the rotation. This feature engages
automatically when you release the trigger switch.
NOTICE: This drill/driver is equipped with an electric
brake. When the brake is functioning properly, sparks
may be visible through the vent slots in the housing.
This is normal and is the action of the brake.
