WARNING: 

• 

Before inserting the battery cartridge 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 properly can lead to loss of control and 
serious personal injury.
