vided to keep the motor running
without holding the trigger switch
“ON”. TO LOCK the trigger
switch “ON”, squeeze the trigger
as far as it will go, push in lock
button and release trigger. TO

for drilling holes, or the reverse direction (counter-clockwise rotation) for
releasing jammed drill bits. For counter-clockwise rotation, stop the motor
by releasing the trigger switch and push the reversing switch (C) Fig. 1
