WARNING:
Do not use a lock with a shank or cable any
•
smaller than 6.35 mm in diameter. A smaller
shank or cable may not properly lock the tool in the
off position and unintentional operation may occur
resulting in serious personal injury.

•
switch trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch
is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be repaired

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.
NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping down or

some other means. A switch with a defeated
lock-off button may result in unintentional operation
and serious personal injury.
