Switch action
WARNING:
Before plugging in the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when released. Do
not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing in
the lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage.
Operating a tool with a switch that does not actuate prop-
erly can lead to loss of control and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool without a fully oper-
ative switch trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch
is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be repaired before
further usage or serious personal injury may occur.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you
simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off
button. A switch in need of repair may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury. Return tool to a Makita
service center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
