FORWARD/REVERSING

LEVER & TRIGGER LOCK

!WARNING After tool use, lock trigger in “OFF” position to help prevent

accidental starts and accidental discharge.

Your tool is equipped with a forward/ reversing lever and trigger lock located above the trigger (Fig. 2). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the bit, and for locking the trigger in an “OFF” position.

Your tool is equipped with two separate gear ranges, low gear and high gear. Low gear provides high-torque and slower drilling speeds for heavy duty work or for driving screws. High gear provides faster speeds for drilling lighter work. To change speeds slide switch, to the high or low position (Fig. 3).

ATTENTION: If your tool appears to be running, but the chuck will not turn, check to make sure the gear shifting switch is pushed fully into desired setting.
