disengage the "lock-on" feature immediately.
WARNING:
Before connecting your hammer drill to power supply
source, always check to be sure it is not in "lock-on"
position (depress and release switch trigger). Failure to
do so could result in accidental starting of your drill
resulting in possible serious injury. Also, do not lock the
trigger on jobs where your drill may need to be stopped
suddenly.

REVERSIBLE
See Figure 3.
Your hammer drill has the feature of being reversible. The
direction of chuck rotation is controlled by a lever located
above the switch trigger. With your drill held in normal
operating position, the rotation lever should be positioned to

reversed when the lever is to the right of the switch.
THE DESIGN OF THE SWITCH WILL NOT PERMIT
CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION WHILE THE
DRILL IS RUNNING. RELEASE THE SWITCH TRIGGER
AND ALLOW THE DRILL TO STOP BEFORE CHANGING
ITS DIRECTION.
NOTE: YOUR HAMMER DRILL WILL NOT RUN UNLESS
THE SWITCH LEVER IS PUSHED FULLY TO THE LEFT
OR RIGHT.
