Operating Instructions

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED

TRIGGER SWITCH

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).

FORWARD/REVERSING

LEVER & TRIGGER LOCK

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. 3). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the bit, and for locking the trigger in an “OFF” position.

For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away from you) move the lever to the far left (Fig. 3).

For reverse rotation move the lever to the far right (Fig. 4). To activate trigger lock move lever to the center off position.

Do not change direction of ! CAUTION rotation until the tool
