SWITCH OPERATION
Squeeze trigger switch (A) Fig. 1, to
start motor. Release trigger to stop
motor. As the trigger is squeezed the
motor speed increases.
NOTE: A low volume, high
pitched tone may be heard while
the switch is in the variable speed
mode. This is normal.
FORWARD/REVERSE
• Make sure trigger switch (A) Fig. 1, is in OFF position before attempting to
change direction of rotation.
• Push button (B) Fig. 1, toward left side of drill for FORWARD (clockwise)
rotation.
• Push button (B) Fig. 1, toward right side of drill for REVERSE (counterclock-
wise) rotation.
• Place button (B) Fig. 1, in center position to lock trigger switch in OFF
position.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
When the trigger switch is relesed, an electric brake automatically engages to
stop spindle rotation.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING DRILL AND SCREWDRIVER BITS
1. CAUTION: Always set reversing button to center (locked OFF) position
when installing and removing bits.
2. The three-jaw chuck is designed
for self-centering of the bit. Open jaws
large enough by turning outer sleeve
(A) Fig. 2, counterclockwise, when
viewing the chuck from the bit end, so
that bit shank can be inserted easily.
