LOCK-ON BUTTON

See Figure 2.

Your screwdriver is equipped with a lock-on feature which is convenient when continuous driving of screws for extended periods of time is required. To lock-on, depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the handle, then release switch trigger. Release lock-on button and your screwdriver will continue running.

To release the lock, depress the switch trigger and release.
