DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR

(FORWARD/REVERSE)

See Figure 2.

The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled 
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the 
drill held in normal operating position, the direction of 
rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the 
switch trigger for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed 
when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.

To prevent gear damage, always allow 

the chuck to come to a complete stop before chang-
ing the direction of rotation. 

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

SPINDLE LOCK

The spindle lock allows the user to keep the chuck from 
turning while changing bits and chucks.
