reverse direction when you pull the switch trigger.

a short period of time and then automatically stops.

Once the tool is stopped, the rotation returns to
regular direction when you start the tool again.

If you tap the reverse button while the tool's head
is still rotating, the tool comes to stop and to be
ready for reverse rotation.
