unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Switch action
Fig.1
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.

the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Indicator lamp
Fig.2
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged to the mains. If the indicator lamp is lit but
the tool does not start even if the tool is switched ON,
the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the motor or the
switch may be defective. If the indicator lamp does not
light up, the mains cord or the indicator lamp may be
defective. When the mains cord is defective, the tool
neither starts nor lights the indicator lamp. When the
indicator lamp is defective, the tool starts without the
indicator lamp lighting up.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
