For your safety, this tool is equipped with a dual switching
system which prevents the tool from unintended starting.
To start the tool, hold the front handle while pressing the
switch lever and pull the switch trigger. To stop the tool,
release either the switch trigger or the switch lever. The
sequence of switching is unimportant as the tool only
starts when both switches are activated.
