Operating Instructions
Never leave the trigger
locked “ON”. Before
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”.
Do not use the switch
“Lock-ON” feature in
situations where kickback is likely, such
as when working into a corner. When the
wheel binds, the tool will kick-back in op-
posite direction of wheel rotation and the
release of the trigger “Lock-ON” may be
difficult.
If the “Lock-ON” button
is continuously being

leased.

dle switch has been activated, push “Lock-
