the lock, then pull the trigger 2 (Fig. 1).
When the trigger is released the button will
engage the safety switch automatically, and

hands. The torque from the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
To turn tool on, press the lock-off release
button 1 (Fig. 1) with your thumb on either
side of handle to disengage the lock, then
pull the trigger 2 (Fig. 1). To turn the tool
"OFF", release the trigger switch, which is
spring loaded and will return to the off
position automatically.
