TRIGGER LOCK

See Figure 5.

To prevent unauthorized use of your compound miter saw, we suggest that you disconnect it from the power supply and lock the switch in the off position. To lock the switch, install a padlock (not included) through the hole in the switch trigger. A lock with a long shackle up to 9/32 in. (7 mm) diameter may be used. When the lock is installed and locked, the switch is inoperable. Store the padlock key in another location.
