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).

"LOCK-ON" BUTTON

The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of your tool allows for continuous operation at maximum RPM without holding the trigger (Fig. 1).

TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger, depress button and release trigger.

TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger and release it without depressing the "Lock- ON" button.

!WARNING If the “Lock-ON” button is continuously being depressed,

the trigger can not be released.

FORWARD/REVERSING BUTTON

& TRIGGER LOCK

Your tool is equipped with a forward/reversing button and trigger lock located above the trigger (Fig. 1). This button was designed for changing rotation of the chuck, and for locking the trigger in an“OFF” position to help prevent accidental starts. For forward rotation, (with the chuck pointed away from you) slide button to the far right. For reverse rotation slide the button to the far left. To activate trigger lock move button to the center off position.

Do not change direction of ! CAUTION rotation until the tool

comes to a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the chuck can cause damage to the tool.

INSERTING BIT

For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close the jaws by hand. This positions the bit properly, giving maximum contact between the chuck jaws and the bit shank.

To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with one hand and securely tighten the chuck sleeve with the other hand (Fig. 2).

!WARNING To prevent friction burns, or possible hand injury, do not

loosen or tighten the chuck by using the power of the drill.
