This tool has push drive mode. In this mode, the tool cuts
off power to the motor to save the battery power at idle.
To select push drive mode, pull the trigger slightly, then release it
and quickly press the button. The mode indicator will then light up.
Once push drive is activated, pull the switch trigger and then
push the lock button. Apply pressure to the bit and the motor
