SWmTCH LOCK
See Figure 4.
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position to
prevent the possibility of accidental starting when not
in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the direction of
rotation selector (Forward/Reverse Selector) in the center
position.
VARIABLE SPEED
This tool has a variable speed switch trigger that delivers
higher speed and torque with increased trigger pres-
sure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger
depression.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a nor-
mal part of the switch function.
See Figure 4.
The direction of rotation is reversible and is controlled by
a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill
held in normal operating position, the direction of rota-
tion selector should be positioned to the left of the switch
trigger for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when
the selector is to the right of the switch trigger. When the
selector is in center position, the switch trigger is locked.
CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation.
To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop.

with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other
hand. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten) or
UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
