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).

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.
If the “Lock-ON” button is
continuously being depressed,
the trigger can not be released.
REVERSING SWITCH LEVER
The reversing switch lever is located above the
trigger switch and is used to reverse rotation of
the bit. The reversing switch should only be
activated when the motor is “OFF” and when bit
is at a com plete standstill (Fig. 1).
To use tool in “Forward” rotation move lever to
left side of tool, to “Reverse” the rotation of the
bit move the lever to the right side of the tool.
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool
comes to a complete stop. Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to the
tool.

CAUTION
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).
Do not use the power of the
drill while grasping chuck
to loosen or tighten bit. Friction burn or hand
injury is possible if attempting to grasp the
spinning chuck.
