Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch
1
. To turn the
tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a
brake. The tool will stop when the trigger switch is fullyreleased.
The variable speed switch enables you to start the application at
a slow speed. The further you squeeze the trigger, the faster the
tool will operate. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only
for starting holes orfasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
beavoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. A)
A forward/reverse control button

determines the direction of
the tool and also serves as a lock-offbutton.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch
1
and
depress the forward/reverse control button
2
on the right side
of thetool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch

and depress
the forward/reverse control button
2
on the left side of the
tool. The centre position of the control button locks the trigger
switch in the off position. When changing the position of the
control button, be sure the trigger isreleased.
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.

located around the 6.35 mm hex
chuck
4
. The worklights are activated when the trigger switch

11
which allows
you to select one of three modes. Select the mode based on the
application and control the speed of the tool using the variable
speed trigger switch
1
.
Precision Drive (Fig. D)
In addition to normal impacting modes, this tool features the
Precision Drive mode which enables greater control in lighter
applications to avoid damage to materials or fasteners. It is ideal
for light applications such as cabinet hinge screws or machine
screws. Precision Drive mode will work as a screwdriver in light
applications, before hesitating as the screw head reaches the
work piece, and then (if required) start a slow controlled impact
to ensure the head ends perfectlyflush.
NOTE: This mode is for light duty screwdriving applications. If
the tool will not drive a fastener in Precision Mode, please select
mode 2 which will give the additional powerrequired.
