Switch Button
The tool can be turned “ON” with the switch button, located at the side of the motor housing.
The switch button can be locked in the “ON” position, a convenience for long grinding
operations.
To turn the tool “ON” without locking it:
Slide the switch button forward by applying pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the button.
When pressure is released the switch button will snap to the “OFF” position (Fig. 8a).
To lock the switch “ON”:
Slide the switch button forward and press on the FRONT portion of the button (Fig. 8b).
To unlock the switch:
Simply press and release the REAR portion of the button. The switch is spring loaded and will
snap back automatically (Fig. 8)

WARNING
Hold the tool with both hands while starting the tool, since torque
from the motor can cause the tool to twist. Start the tool and let the
tool come to full speed before contacting the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch.
NOTICE:
DO NOT turn the switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is under load; this will greatly
decrease the switch life.
