Switch action
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to
•
see that the switch trigger actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when
released. Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock-off button. This
can cause switch breakage. Operating a tool
with a switch that does not actuate properly
can lead to loss of control and serious personal
injury.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the tool off.

WARNING:
• Do not use a lock with a shank or cable any
smaller than 6.35 mm (1/4") in diameter. A
smaller shank or cable may not properly lock the
tool in the off position and unintentional oper-
ation may occur resulting in serious personal
injury.
• NEVER use tool without a fully operative
switch trigger. Any tool with an inoperative
switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
1
repaired before further usage or serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with a lock-
off button which prevents the tool from unin-
tended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs
when you simply pull the switch trigger without
pressing the lock-off button. A switch in need of
repair may result in unintentional operation and
serious personal injury. Return tool to a Makita
service center for proper repairs BEFORE fur-
ther usage.
• NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping
down or some other means. A switch with a
defeated lock-off button may result in uninten-
tional operation and serious personal injury.
