WARNING:
Before installing the batteries
into 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 but-
ton. This can cause switch breakage. Operating a
tool with a switch that does not actuate properly 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.

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:

you simply pull the switch trigger without press-
ing 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
