OPERATION
REVERSIBLE
See Figure 4.
This tool has the feature of being reversible. The
direction of rotation is controlled by a lever located above
the switch trigger. With your screwdriver held in normal
operating position, the direction of rotation lever should
be positioned to the left of the switch for forward driving
operation. The direction of rotation is in reverse when
the lever is to the right of the switch.
The design of the switch will not permit changing the
direction of rotation while the screwdriver is running.
Release the switch trigger and allow the screwdriver to
stop before changing its direction.
Note: Your screwdriver will not run unless forward/
reverse lever is pushed fully to the left or right.
