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".
