TURNING SAW ON (FIG. T)
To reduce the likelihood of accidental starting, a
thumb activated lock-OFF switch is located on
top of the switch handle. The lock-OFF switch (1)
must be pushed in before the trigger switch (2)
can be activated and the miter saw started.
Make the switch child-proof. Insert a padlock
through the hole (3) in the trigger switch and
lock it. This will prevent children and other
unauthorized users from engaging the trigger
switch ON.

and unplug unit from power source.
