To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to acomplete stop before changing the direction of rotation.CAUTION:The direction of bit rotation is forward or reverse and is controlled by a selector switchlocated above and to the rear of the trigger switch. When holding the drill / driver in thenormal operating position, (and viewed from the back of the drill/driver see Figs. 3, 3aand 3b), the selector switch should be positioned (pushed) all the way to the LEFT,for FORWARD or normal drilling / driving, and positioned (pushed) all the way to theRIGHT for REVERSE to remove drill bits and back out screws.The third position for the selector switch is located in the CENTER (Fig. 3b). This position keepsthe trigger switch from working, locking the power “OFF”. Setting the selector switch in the “OFF”or CENTER position helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when the tool is not in use.REMOVE BATTERY PACK FROMDRILL / DRIVER (Fig. 4)1.
