IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF”
position to prevent unauthorized use. To lock the tool, grasp the switch toggle (B) and pull it
out of the switch (Fig. 28). With the switch toggle (B) removed, the switch will not operate. However,
should the switch toggle be removed while the saw is running, the machine can be turned “OFF,”
but cannot be restarted without re-inserting the switch toggle (B).
MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE,
MOVE THE SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION. AN ACCIDENTAL START-UP
CAN CAUSE INJURY.
