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 increase the speed and release pressure to
decrease speed Fig. 1).
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located above

from you) move the lever to the far left. For
reverse rotation move the lever to the far right.
To activate trigger lock move lever to the
center off position.
