Saw Operations

Switch Activation

For safety, the switch lever is designed to prevent accidental starts. To operate safety switch, press the switch “Lock-OFF” button with either thumb to disengage the lock, then pull the power switch lever and release the switch “Lock-OFF” release button (see Figure 39). When the power switch lever is released, the switch “Lock-OFF” button will engage the safety switch automatically, and the lever will no longer operate until either “Lock-OFF” button is pressed again.

NOTE: The power switch lever is made with a hole to accommodate a long shackle padlock to prevent unauthorized use of the saw (padlock is not provided with tool). The lock’s shackle diameter may be up to 1/4".
