Checking The Chain Brake; Switch Action - Makita DUC256 Manuel D'instruction

NOTE: You can use the tool in the Torque
Boost mode up to 60 seconds. Depending on
the usage conditions, this mode shifts to the
normal mode in less than 60 seconds.
NOTE: If the mode indicator blinks in green
when you press the main power switch for a
few seconds, the Torque Boost mode is not
available. In this case, follow the steps below.
• The Torque Boost mode is not available
right after the cutting operation. Wait for
more than 10 seconds, and then press
the main power switch for a few seconds
again.
• If you use the Torque Boost mode several
times, the use of the Torque Boost mode
is restricted to protect the battery. If the
Torque Boost mode is not available after
waiting for more than 10 seconds, replace
the battery cartridge with a fully charged
one, or recharge the battery cartridge.
NOTE: If the main power lamp lights up in red
or blinks in red or green, refer to the instruc-
tions for tool/battery protection system.

Switch action

WARNING: For your safety, this tool is
equipped with lock-off lever which prevents
the tool from unintended starting. NEVER
use the tool if it runs when you simply
pull the switch trigger without pressing
the lock-off lever. Return the tool to our
authorized service center for proper repairs
BEFORE further usage.
WARNING: NEVER tape down or defeat
purpose and function of lock-off lever.
CAUTION: Before installing the battery
cartridge into the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
NOTICE: Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing the lock-off lever. This can
cause switch breakage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being acci-
dentally pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To
start the tool, depress the lock-off lever and pull
the switch trigger. The tool speed increases
by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
