According to
http://service.lego.com/en-us/helptopics/products/power%20functions.aspx?Key=powerfunctions

The pole or control switch included in 8293 - Power Functions Motor Set
allows you to change the direction that motors will turn. When you change
the setting on the switch from one side to the other, the functions attached
to your motor will change direction. Also, by placing the switch in the
middle, LED lights will still continue to function.
