OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH (FIG. E)

To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (1). E To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop

as soon as the trigger switch is fully released. The variable speed switch enables you to select the best speed for a particular application. The more you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metals or plastics, or driving screws. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.

NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.
