WARNING
injury.
Your tool is equipped with a direction-of-rotation selector, located above the trigger switch.
This selector is designed for changing the direction of rotation of the bit and for locking the
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. 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 the right.
