Switch Activation

For safety, the switch lever is designed to prevent
accidental starts. To operate safety switch, slide the
switch "Lock-OFF" release button with either thumb to
disengage the lock, then pull the power switch trigger
and release the switch "Lock-OFF" release button
(figure 26). When the power switch trigger is
released, the switch "Lock-OFF" release button will
engage the power switch trigger automatically, and
the lever will no longer operate until either "Lock-Off"
release button is engaged again.
NOTE: Power switch trigger can accommodate a
padlock with a long shackle of up to 3/16" in diameter
(not provided with miter saw) to prevent unauthorized
use.
