changing the direction of bit rotation. Setting the switch
trigger in the OFF (center lock) position helps reduce the
possibility of accidental starting when not in use.

the drill bit in the chuck jaws.
LEVELS
Levels are located on the top and end of the motor
housing to help keep the drill bit level during use.

ring can be turned to select the right amount of torque for
your application.
TWO SPEED GEAR TRAIN
The two-speed gear train is designed for drilling or driving
at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on top
of your drill for selecting either LO (1) or Hi (2} speed.

The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed
with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with
