Reversing switch action
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 the position (B
side) for counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before opera-
tion.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rota-
tion before the tool stops may damage the tool.
Hook
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
When using the hook, pull it out in A direction and then
push it in B direction to secure in place.
When not using the hook, return it back to its initial posi-
tion by following the above procedures in reverse.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
