WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger or the switch
lever. Return the tool to our authorized service
center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
WARNING:
NEVER tape down or defeat pur-
pose and function of switch lever.
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge on the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger and switch lever actuate properly
and return to the "OFF" position when released.
Operating a tool with a switch that does not actuate
properly can lead to loss of control and serious per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
Never put your finger on the
switch trigger when carrying.
The tool may start
unintentionally and cause injury.
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a dual switch-
ing 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.
