Operating Instructions

Using the Power Tool

  1. Once an attachment (drill or saw) is securely in place, press the trigger on the handle of the power tool.
  2. The tool will activate, producing motorized action and sounds appropriate to the attached tool. The drill will spin, and the saw will move back and forth.

The "Fix-It" Feature

This power tool includes a unique "break" and "fix" play feature. Periodically during play, the motor may simulate a "breakdown."

  • When the tool "breaks," it will stop functioning or make unusual sounds.
  • To "fix" it, use the Squeeze figure to interact with the internal gears or parts visible through the clear panel.
  • Manipulating the internal parts with Squeeze will reset the tool, allowing it to function normally again.
