NOTICE:
Make sure to push the front grip fully
into the slot end and keep it positioned where it is
while rotating the front grip. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the tool.

tion in tight, confined and hard-to-reach areas can be
performed effectively.
Push and hold the front grip firmly towards the motor
housing and rotate it 90 degrees to either the left or
