WARNING:
For your safety, this tool is
equipped with lock-off lever which prevents the
tool from unintended starting. NEVER use the tool

without pressing the lock-off lever. Return the
tool to our authorized service center for proper

pose and function of lock-off lever.
CAUTION:
Before connecting the portable

tool with a switch that does not actuate properly can
lead to loss of control and serious personal injury.

power button and switch trigger when carrying
the tool. The tool may start unintentionally and cause
injury.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger.
The tool speed increases by increasing pressure on the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
