This tool has the feature of being reversible. The direction of rotation is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger.

The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch. When the selector is in center position, the switch trigger is locked.

To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop.
