Now I know you watched it too the end. ❤️

You never explained what the black button was for. You just said don't press it when it is running. Obviously this is not for beginners .

[@PeachTreeCrafting]

At about 2 mins in I do say to hold the lock button in to loosen the chuck and then after say never press it. So I can see how you may not get what I was saying. I would have been better pointing it out first. Thank you for the feedback.
