Operate the shift knob to change the rotational
speed. Move the shift knob in the direction of the
arrow (see Figs. 14 and 15).
When the shift knob is set to “LOW”, the drill
rotates at a low speed. When set to “HIGH”, the
drill rotates at a high speed.

When changing the rotational speed with the shift
knob, confirm that the switch is off.
Changing the speed while the motor is rotating
will damage the gears.
When a large force is required for operation
