Operating Instructions
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the maximum
nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to
the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase
the speed and release pressure to decrease
speed. This accurate speed control enables
you to drill without center punching. It also
permits you to use as a power screwdriver.
Bits are available for driving screws as well as
running bolts and nuts.

After tool use, lock trigger in
“OFF” position to help prevent
accidental starts and accidental discharge.
Your tool is equipped with a forward/

the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was designed
for changing rotation of the bit, and for locking
the trigger in an “OFF” position.
* FORWARD/REVERSE INDICATOR LIGHTS
Your tool may be equipped with lights which
indicate the rotation of the bit.
For forward rotation, (with bit pointed
away from you) move the lever to the far left
and a green indicator light depicting a forward

For reverse rotation move the lever to the
far right and the green indicator light depicting
a reverse arrow will light up.
To stop in either direction just release the trigger.
To activate trigger lock move lever to the center
off position (Fig. 1).
