Reversing switch action
For Model HR2450F, HR2450 only
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.

counterclockwise rotation, you cannot push in the
lock button.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the
posi-
tion (A side) for clockwise rotation or to the position
(B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
Selecting action mode
CAUTION:
• Do not rotate the action mode changing knob when
the tool is running under load. The tool will be
damaged.
• To avoid rapid wear on the mode change
mechanism, be sure that the action mode changing
knob is always positively located in one of the three
action mode positions.

the tool immediately. This will help prevent
premature wear of the tool.
