AUxILIARY HANDLE

The tool must be supported with the auxiliary
handle. The handle must be threaded into the
front housing of the tool (Fig. 1).

Your tool is equipped with a light that turns on
automatically when the switch is activated for

The light is maintenance free and was
designed to last the life of your tool (Fig. 1).
