is depressed, and will automatically turn off
20seconds after the trigger switch is released. If the trigger
switch remains depressed, the worklight will remainon.

Reverse Control Button (Fig.A)
The tool is turned on and off by pulling and releasing the
variable speed trigger switch

. The farther the trigger is
depressed, the higher the speed of the tool. Your tool is
equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the
trigger switch is fullyreleased.
A forward/reverse control button

determines the
rotational direction of the tool and also serves as a
lock-offbutton.

and depress the forward/reverse control button on the
right side of thetool.
• To select reverse (counterclockwise), depress the
forward/reverse control button on the left side of
thetool.
NOTE: The center position of the control button locks the
tool in the off position. When changing the position of the
control button, be sure the trigger isreleased.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
beavoided.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start-up. This is
normal and does not indicate aproblem.

Wall Mounting
Some DeWALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface.If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the screw
