WEN 5182 18 Volt Cordless Drill/Drive Kit - Manual (Page 11)

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
Reverse
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the trigger
switch. With the Drill/Driver held in normal operating position:
1. Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the tool for forward rotation.
2. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the right of the tool for reverse rotation.
3. Setting the switch in the OFF (center lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow the Drill/Driver to come to a complete stop
before changing the direction of rotation.
NOTE: The Drill/Driver will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is engaged fully to
the left or right.
KEYLESS CHUCK
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the
chuck indicate the direction in which to rotate the chuck body in order to tighten or release the
chuck jaws on the drill bit.
WARNING! Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use the power of the drill
to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, or
your hand could slip and come in contact with the rotating bit. This could cause an
accident resulting in serious personal injury.
