This tool has the feature of being reversible. The
direction of rotation is controlled by a selector located
above the switch trigger. With the drill held in normal
operating position, the direction of rotation selector
should be positioned to the left of the switch for
drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the
selector is to the right of the switch. When the selector
is in center position, the switch trigger is locked.
To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop.
