locked
plugging the tool in, check that the trigger
lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups could
cause injury.
Be aware of the loca-
tion and setting of the
switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch is
locked "ON" during the use, be ready for
emergency situations to switch it "OFF".

posite direction of wheel rotation and the
release of the trigger "Lock-ON" may be
difficult.
If the "Lock-ON" button

leased.
