See Figure 1, page 8.

To turn the tool 

ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it 

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

during use is a normal part of the switch function.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR

(FORWARD/REVERSE/FLASHLIGHT POSITION)

See Figure 1 - 2, page 8.

Set the direction of rotation selector in the 

Flashlight (center) 

position to prevent accidentally starting the tool.
Move the direction of rotation selector upward for forward 
chuck rotation. Move the selector downward to reverse the 
direction.
NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation 
selector is pushed fully up or down.

NOTICE:

To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to 
a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Place the 
direction of rotation selector in the

position when not in use or carrying at your side, when 
installing or removing the battery pack, and when 
installing or removing bits.

LED LIGHTS

See Figure 3, page 8.

The LED lights around the chuck will come on when the switch 
trigger is depressed. This provides additional lighting on the 
surface of the workpiece for operation in lower-light areas.

(center) position and the switch trigger is depressed, the LED 
lights will come on but the tool will not run.
