Reversing switch action
A
► 1. Reversing switch lever
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the
A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the
reversing switch lever to the neutral position.
Speed change
► 1. Speed change lever
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "2" side for high
speed or "1" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed
change lever is set to the correct position before opera-
tion. Use the right speed for your job.
CAUTION:
• Always set the speed change lever fully to the cor-
rect position. If you operate the tool with the speed
change lever positioned halfway between the "1"
side and "2" side, the tool may be damaged.
• Do not use the speed change lever while the
tool is running. The tool may be damaged.
