FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 4)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED
E
lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button (K). A combination
of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When
the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.

Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. 2)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (A). To turn the tool off, release the
trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop when the trigger
switch is fully released. The variable speed switch enables you to select the best
speed for a particular application. The more you squeeze the trigger, the faster the
tool will operate. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or
fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage
the switch and should be avoided.

A forward/reverse control button (B) determines the direction of the tool and also serves
as a lock-off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse
control button on the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control
button on the left side of the tool.
