SAFE AND WORKING MODE:

 

The switch has a self-locking function. It has two modes: working mode and safe 
mode. 

Safe mode (Locked): 

To put the saw in safe mode, turn the switch clockwise 90 °. The saw is now locked. 
The switch cannot be pressed and the saw will not operate. 

Working mode

 

Turn the switch 90 degrees counter-clockwise (as in Figure 8 below). The saw will 
now run when the switch is pressed. The actual speed is controlled by how far the 
switch is depressed. Gentle pressure means low speed, and firmer pressure will 
result in higher speed.
