Trigger Lock
(Fig. 17)
After tool use, lock trig-
ger in "OFF" position to
help prevent accidental starts and acciden-
tal discharge.
Do not change direction
of rotation until the tool
comes to a complete stop. Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to
the tool.
Your tool is equipped with a Forward/Re-
versing Lever and Trigger Lock 11 located
above the trigger. This lever was designed for
changing direction of rotation of the bit, and
for locking the trigger in an "OFF" position.
For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed
away from you) move the lever to the far left.
For reverse rotation, move the lever to the
far right.
To activate trigger lock, move lever to the
center off position.
