Patent ID: 8602125

Claim:
A power tool comprising: a housing having a pair of opposite lateral sides, a top side and a bottom side, the housing including a body and a handle, the handle being located on the bottom side of the housing; a reversible motor received in the body of the housing; an output member driven by the motor; and a switch arrangement for controlling operation of the motor, the switch arrangement including a reversing switch, a direction switch, an actuator and an indicator, the reversing switch being configured to control a rotational direction of the motor, the direction switch extending through the opposite lateral sides of the housing, the actuator being coupled to the direction switch such that translation of the direction switch causes corresponding translation of the actuator, the indicator being pivotally coupled to at least one of the housing and the motor and pivoting in response to translation of the actuator between a first position and a second position, wherein when the actuator is in the first position a first portion of the indicator is rotated into alignment with an aperture formed in the top side of the housing and the actuator configures the reversing switch such that the motor is operable in a first rotational direction, and wherein when the actuator is in the second position a second portion of the indicator is rotated into alignment with the aperture and the actuator configures the reversing switch such that the motor is operable in a second rotational direction.
