side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for
counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct
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. (Fig. 8)
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 operation. Use
the right speed for your job.
Selecting the action mode
CAUTION:
• Always set the ring correctly to your desired mode
mark. If you operate the tool with the ring positioned
halfway between the mode marks, the tool may be
damaged. (Fig. 9)
This tool employs an action mode changing ring. Select
one of the three modes suitable for your work needs by
using this ring.
For rotation only, turn the ring so that the arrow on the tool
