WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always make sure that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position by fully pulling and releasing
it.

NEVER defeat the lock-off button
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:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
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
for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
WARNING:
Do not install the battery cartridge

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, depress the lock button while
pulling the switch trigger, and then release the switch

Operation of speed change knob
NOTICE:
Use the speed change knob only after
the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the
tool speed mode before the tool stops may damage
the tool.
NOTICE:
Always set the speed change knob
carefully into the correct position. If you operate
the tool with the speed change knob positioned half-
way between the position 1 and the position 2, the
tool may be damaged.
NOTICE:
If the rotation speed significantly
decreases during operation in the high speed
mode, stop the tool and change the mode to the
low speed mode. Otherwise, the motor may get
overloaded and cause a malfunction or fire.
Two speed ranges can be preselected with the speed change knob.
Select the proper speed mode for the material to be mixed.
To change the speed mode, turn the speed change
knob so that the pointer points to the dot at position
1 for low speed mode or the dot at position 2 for high
speed mode.
