Switch action
WARNING:
For your safety, this tool is
equipped with lock-off lever which prevents the
tool from unintended starting. NEVER use the tool
if it runs when you simply pull the switch trigger
without pressing the lock-off 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 lock-off lever.
CAUTION:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard with-
out pressing the lock-off lever. This can cause
switch breakage.
NOTE: When you keep pulling the switch trigger while
the tool is under almost no load, the rotation speed of
the tool decreases and the main power lamp blinks
in green. In this case, release the switch trigger, and
then pull the switch trigger again.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger.
The tool speed increases by increasing pressure on the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
