To stop the rotary hammer, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop. The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the rotary hammer held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger. NOTE: The rotary hammer will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right. Avoid running the rotary hammer at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause the rotary hammer to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the rotary hammer by running it without a load and at full speed. 10
