Before installing the battery car-
tridge(s) into 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

Operating a tool with a switch that does not actuate
properly can lead to loss of control and serious per-

Any tool with an inoper-
ative switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
repaired before further usage or serious personal
injury may occur.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means.
A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without press-
ing 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 further usage.
