ized use of the compound miter saw, 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 and make certain the switch is inoper-
able. If the switch is still operable with the padlock installed,
a padlock with a larger shackle diameter must be used. Store
the padlock key in another location.
