if it runs when you simply pull the switch trigger

tridge on the tool, always check to see that the

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

sonal injury.

switch when carrying.

 The tool may start uninten-

tionally and cause injury.
