OPERATION

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR

See Figure 6.

The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the impact driver held in normal operating position, the direction of rota- tion selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for driving. The driving direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.

Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use.

CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow the coupler to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.

To stop the impact driver, release the switch trigger and allow the coupler to come to a complete stop.

NOTE: The impact driver will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.

INSTALLING BITS

WARNING:

Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler before using the impact driver. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury.
