To avoid possible injury, disconnect battery pack before performing any
assembly, adjustments or repairs.

Switch Activation

For safety, the power switch (Fig. 29, 3) is de-
signed to prevent accidental starts. To operate
safety switch, slide the switch "Lock-OFF" re-
lease buttons (2) with either thumb to disen-
gage the lock, then pull the power switch (3)
trigger and release the switch "Lock-OFF" re-
lease button. When the power switch trigger is
released, the switch "Lock-OFF" release button
will engage the power switch trigger automati-
cally, and the lever will no longer operate un-
til either "Lock-Off" release button is engaged
again.
NOTE: Padlock hole (Fig. 29) can accommodate
a padlock with a long shackle of up to 5/16"
(8mm) in diameter (not provided with miter
saw) to prevent unauthorized use.

Built-in LED Light

Your tool is equipped with a powerful LED light
for better visibility when cutting. The light has
the ability to turn on when only partially de-
pressing the trigger (Fig. 29, 3). The light will
stay on for 30 seconds after the trigger has been
released. This allows the cut to be more visible.
