Operating Instructions
Using the Power Tool
- Once an attachment (drill or saw) is securely in place, press the trigger on the handle of the power tool.
- 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.
- Release the trigger to stop the tool's action.
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.
