To prevent unauthorized use of your compound miter
saw, we suggest that you disconnect it from the power
supply and lock the switch in the off position. To lock
the switch, install a padlock through the hole in the
switch trigger. A lock with a long shackle up to 13/64
in. diameter may be used. When the lock is installed
and locked, the switch is inoperable. Store the pad­
lock key in another location.
