SWITCH

See Figure 6.

VARIABLE SPEED

See Figure 6.

This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed and torque with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.

This drill has an electric brake. When the trigger switch is released, the chuck stops turning. When the brake is functioning properly, sparks will be visible through the vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action of the brake.

Note: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the switch during use. Do not be concerned, this is a normal part of the switch function.
